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:
protons
atomic number
Note: The same atomic number can be associated with several different values of atomic mass, but an element can have only 1 atomic number,

Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
In a third-class lever, the effort force lies between the resistance force and the fulcrum. Some kinds of garden tools are examples of third-class levers. When you use a shovel, for example, you hold one end steady to act as the fulcrum, and you use your other hand to pull up on a load of dirt.
