- polar pull from protons on electrons
- the charge of the atom/ion and it's general size

What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
What part of an atom determines the isotope of an atom?
Neutron
What part of an atom determines its size?
the distance from its nuclei and the atomic radius
How an atom behaves determines?
An atom behaves on how many penises it has
What is the number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom?
The number of protons determines the element's atomic number. When combined with the number of neutrons, it determines the element's atomic mass.
Is measuring the size of an atom by the size of its orbital not very accurate?
No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.
What number in an atom determines what kind of atom it is?
The atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus, determines what kind of atom it is.
What gives an atom its size?
Mainly the nucleus so the number of protons and neutrons determines the size. The orbiting electrons do of course make a contribution.
What determines and atom s physical properties?
The protons in the nucleus of an atom determine the basic properties of it. Atoms are units of matte that are surrounded by electrons.
What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
What part of an atom determines the isotope of an atom?
Neutron
What part of an atom determines its size?
the distance from its nuclei and the atomic radius
What determines an atoms number?
the number of protons determines the atom.
What determines how many convalent bonds atom will form?
The number of electrons in an atom's valence shell determines its valency.
How an atom behaves determines?
An atom behaves on how many penises it has
determines the shape of an atom?
angles
What determines the number of covalent bonds formed by an atom?
The number of unpaired electrons determines the number of covalent bonds that can be formed by an atom.
