The far right group of elements on the periodic table are called the _______________ _______________. They are considered to be _____________ because they do not readily combine with other elements. 15. Rows on the periodic table are called _______________. The columns on a periodic table are called _________________, and these elements typically share similar __________________. 16. The three states of matter are _________________, _________________, and _________________. 17. Identify each state below: 18. _______________ have definite volume and shape, while ________________ have definite volume but no definite shape. 19. _______________ are made up of high‐energy, fast moving particles that bounce around and are typically spread out. 20. _______________ are made up of closely packed particles that only vibrate in place. 21. When a solid changes into a gas, it is called _______________________, while ___________________ is the name for a solid changing into a liquid. 22. Evaporation occurs when a ________________ becomes a _________________. 23. ______________________ is when a gas changes into a liquid. 24.
