When particle in a atom is responsible for its chemical properties?

This is the number of protons.


Where are the 3 particles that make up an atom located in the atom?

The "building blocks of the atom" are the proton, the neutron and the electron. The proton has a positive charge, and it is found in the nucleus (center) of the atom. Also found in the nucleus is the neutron, which has no charge. The negativly charged electron(s) orbit the nucleus of the atom in what is termed the electron cloud.

How will different bonds affect physical properties?

If you have a ond that is connected to many other bond,s then obviously it will hae ahigher boiling, and lower melting point. It will aslo be hard


Is chemical reactions a physical or chemical properties?

ChemicalTo determine it, you must alter the identity of the substance. See the Related Questions link to the left of this answer: "What is the difference between a chemical and physical property?"PhysicalElements cannot be altered, without disrupting the physical structure of the atom, so the atomic structure between the protons, neutrons, and electrons are physical.Barney9So which one is it...? Chemical or physical?~Physical. Barney9's answer was a little confusing.. but overall, you can identify an element without disrupting the atomic structure of it's atoms.

Does a element have mass in it?

Yes, an element has mass. The smallest unit of an element is the atom, and the atom's mass is the amount of matter in it: the neutron(s), proton(s), and electron(s). Because the number of protons determines an element's identity, and protons have mass, elements always have mass (though this can be a tiny, almost immeasurable mass).
