What tells you the amount of valence electrons?
The groups (except helium and transition metals; 3-12)
Electronegativity
Right and up (increases)
Atomic radius
Left and down (increase)
Factors of atomic radius
# of protons:
more = more pull = smaller radius
# of electrons:
less = less repulsion = smaller radius
more = more repulsion/less pull = more puff = larger radius
