What if your friend says that what makes one element distinct from another is the number of electrons about the atomic nucleus do you agree wholeheartedly or partially or not at all?

not at all its the number of protons in the nucleus, cuz the electron number can be changed

Why do force of attraction between nucleus and electrons decrease in alkali metal as increase in size?
As alkali metals increase in size, the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus increases. The attraction between the electrons and the nucleus is electrostatic, and it is a fundamental property of electrostatic attractions that the attraction decreases with increasing distance between the attracting charges. Another way of describing this is that the attractive force is partially "screened" by the inner electrons between the outermost electrons and the nucleus.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What bomd is formed when atoms share electrons?
When they share electrons it is covalent because they are codependent on each other, and ionic bonding is when they give electrons to another or receive electrons from another. that's how i remember it. Hope that helps :) x
What are valence electrons and shells?
Valence electrons are the ones which participate in chemical reactions in some way, either by moving from one atom to another, or by being shared with another atom. They are found in the outer shell of an atom (there are usually inner shells with other electrons that are not valence electrons, although in the lightest elements, there are no inner shells and all electrons are valence electrons).
Enzymes that catalyze removing electrons from one substrate and adding electrons to another are called?
dehydrogenases
Is it true that electronegativity is the ability of an anion to attract another anion?
Partially, electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, there by becoming an anion.
Why does hydrogen form h2 molecules?
Hydrogen has one electron, which leaves it with a partially full shell. To have a full shell it must have two electrons. As a result, one hydrogen atom will form a covalent bond with another, ad the two atoms share their electrons.
What is happening during bonding?
Different bonds involve different interactions between atoms or molecules.Covalent Bonds: electrons are shared between two atoms, holding them together.Ionic Bonds: electrons are transferred (either donated or accepted) between two atoms, holding them together.Hydrogen Bonds: the partially negative part of a polar molecule is attracted to the partially positive part of another polar molecule.
What is another term for peculiar?
Another word for peculiar is distinct.

The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in water is formed when?
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and and an oxygen atom when the two atoms share electrons. They form a water molecule when there are two hydrogen atoms sharing electrons with one oxygen atom.
What is another word for slightly damaged?
partially damaged
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What is another name for outermost electrons?
Electrons in the outermost shell are valence electrons!
You were parked illegally and were hit by another car are you at fault?
At least partially.

What is a pesonality?
A set of qualities that make a person or thing distinct from another.
