Is the nucleus involved in chemical reactions?
No, it results from the interaction of electrons.
What electrons of an element are responsible for reacting and bonding with other elements?
The "valence" electrons are responsible for chemical reactions and bonding. Valence electrons are found in the outer most orbital of the atom, farthest away from the nucleus.
Which of an atoms electrons are involved in chemical reaction?
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
Are all the electrons always the same distance from the nucleus?
all electrons are alike
What subatomic particles is involved in the chemical bonding?
Atoms are made up of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and electrons moving around outside of the nucleus. These electrons are relatively far away from the nucleus and thus are the first particles that would notice if another atom was around. Therefore, when a compound is formed, the electrons are the ones that make it happen.

The "valence" electrons are responsible for chemical reactions and bonding. Valence electrons are found in the outer most orbital of the atom, farthest away from the nucleus.
Which electrons are involved in bonding'?
At times the electrons involved in bonding are shared equally between the nuclei of two atoms and the bond is called a pure covalent bond. More often, however, the sharing is unequal and the electrons spend more time around the nucleus
What effect does the transfer of electrons have on the nuclei of the atoms involved in ionic bonding?
Chemical processes have no effect on the nucleus otherwise we would be in deep trouble
Are electrons next to the nucleus?
No, electrons are around nucleus but at a great distance.
When there is a charge in the nucleus of an atom is released?
There is always a positive charge in the nucleus but there is a charge in the atom of an element when the outermost electrons are released or gained during a chemical reaction.This is called ionic bonding.
Electrons are particles that are?
Electrons are extremely small particles that circle the nucleus of an atom in an orbital. Electrons are negatively charged and balance the positive charge of the proton, in the nucleus. Valence electrons are either added or eliminated from an element during chemical reactions. Valence electrons are important in bonding, and the sharing of those electrons.
Why did the protons did not participate during chemical bonding?
Chemical bonding only involves the outermost level of electrons, valence electrons. The actual reaction takes place far away from the nucleus of the atom where the protons are. There are reactions that involve the protons, though, but they are nuclear reactions, not chemical reactions. They are usually achieved through high-speed collision in labs.
Which of an atoms electrons are involved in chemical reaction?
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
What is antibonding in chemistry?
Antibonding is a bonding in which the electrons are away from the nucleus and which is higher in energy.
Why are the valence electrons of an atom the only electrons likely to be involved in bonding to other atoms?
It is because only certain (the outer) electrons are available for chemical bonding that they are called valence electrons. By definition, the electrons available for bonding are called valence electrons. The others are more tightly bound to the nucleus.
Define atomic radii?
The atomic radii is the measure of the size of the atoms in a chemical element. This is the distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the electrons' cloud.
