The stability of an atom is determined by the:
electrons in the outer shell
This depends on valence electrons.
greatly...its what gives water its unique properties
The chemical properties of an atom are determined by the number of protons that are existent in the particular atom. This value is given by the atomic number.
The electrons in the outermost shell are very important.
Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.
The part of the atom that is used in bonding is the electron. More specifically, valance electrons which are the outer shell of the electron.
Electrons are involved in atomic bonding to form compounds.

The chemical properties of an atom are determined by the number of protons that are existent in the particular atom. This value is given by the atomic number.
All chemical properties are determined by electronic structure.
The intramolecular hydrogen bonding can be determined by
The electrons in the outermost shell are very important.
Much of the nature of an atom is determined by the configuration of its electrons. The configuration controls how freely it can bond, how charged the atom is, how stable it is, and other atomic properties.
Almost all the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the valence shell electrons or in general, by the no of electrons present in the atom. Since in an isotope and a general atom, no. of electrons is same, therefore they have similar chemical properties. Isotopes differ in atomic mass only and that is due to extra neutrons.
The nucleus of an atom (protons and neutrons) determines if an atom is radioactive. The tendency is, the larger the nucleus, the more unstable it is and the more likely it is to be radioactive. As for the chemical bonding properties of the atom, the electron configuration determines how it will bond, with what it will bond, and in what ratio atoms will bond to form the 20,000,000 different substances on Earth.
A carbon atom has only four electrons in its valance energy shell. This allows for four other bonding possibilities. Carbon is also an atom that has covalent bonding properties which means it shares its electrons with the molecules that it is bonded to.
Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
