Are chemical properties of elements determined by neutrons?
No. The properties of elements are determined by the number of protons, which in turn determines the number of electrons.
What determines the chemical properties of minerals?
The elements that compose it and the arrangement of its atoms
What determines the properties of elements?
the properties of elements are determined by the structures of their atoms.
Are the properties of elements determined by the structures of their atoms?
yes.
How the properties of elements determine?
they are determined by the outermost shell of electrons
Who determined that the properties in elements are periodic?
The Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev.
What information about elements can be obtained from this organizing tool?
information about elements can be obtained from this organizing tool
Why are the properties of some elements not yet determined?
For heavy artificially elements is difficult (or impossible) to determine properties because the are obtained in quantities of only few atoms; and these atoms are very unstable !
Are atom properties determined by the size of the valence electrons?
Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.
How can the identity of an element be determined?
There are various ways. Some elements can be determined by taste, color, optical properties, reaction to mass spectrometry, reaction to chemicals etc. It depends on the element.
How does reactivity correlate to each elements location on the periodic table?
Reactivity is associated with position. Chemical properties of element can be determined from its position.
Are the properties of a compound the same of the properties of its elements?
the properties of a compound are not the same as the elements that form them.
