Alkali metals: left column of your periodic table (not hydrogen, but anything below it). They have one valence electron, which they are happy to share in a reaction.
Halogens: second column from the right of your periodic table. They are one electron short of a full shell, so they are reactive in the opposite way that alkalis are--they want electrons.
Atomic number (number of protons) is the big number on the periodic table square. Hydrogen's is 1.
Atomic mass is a little number down below. For example, Hydrogen's is 1.008.
Neutrons are a tricky subject, because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. You can't generally get this from the atomic mass, because the atomic mass is a weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes. Hydrogen can have 0,1, or 2 neutrons. To answer this, you'd have to choose a particular isotope from the table of isotopes (a completely different chart from the periodic table) which has a certain number of neutrons: n = weight - Z.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. (The column of the table).

Answer:
B. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
Explanation:
When the temperature of an object increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, so the thermal energy of an object increases as its temperature increases.
