Atoms are defined by the number of positively charged protons, not negatively charged electrons.
Atoms that lose or gain an electron are called Ions.
Anion - gained an electron, negative charge
Cation - lost an electron, positive charge
What else can I help you with?
Which determine the chemical properties of an element?
the atomic masses and atomic numbers... group number and period number... valence electrons and number of shells... these all determine the chemical properties of elements...
What is common amongst elements that have the s same number of valence electrons?
Elements with the same number of valence electrons typically have similar chemical properties. This is because valence electrons determine an element's reactivity and bonding behavior. Elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.
How does the number of outer energy level electrons related to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
How does the number of the outer energy level electrons relate to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
What subatomic particle determines the chemical properties of the atom?
ELEMENT
Why are the number of electrons in an atom important?
Electrons determine the chemical properties.
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes, elements in the same family on the periodic table share the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom, and they determine the element's chemical properties. Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
What does the group number help tell you in columns?
Group number describes the number of valence electrons. It helps in estimating chemical properties of that element.For example-group-1 elements have 1 valence electronThe group number of an element is equal to the number of valence electrons. The number of valence electrons is responsible for the chemical properties. So the chemical properties of the element can be determined by the group number.
What parts of an atom determine its chemical properties?
The number and arrangement of electrons in the atom's electron cloud determine its chemical properties. Electrons are involved in chemical reactions as they interact with other atoms. The number of protons in the atom's nucleus also plays a role in determining its chemical properties by defining its atomic number and identity.
Each family in the periodic table has its characteristic properties based on the number of?
Each family in the periodic table has its characteristic properties based on the number of valence electrons they have. Valence electrons determine the chemical behavior of an element and are responsible for its reactivity and bonding patterns with other elements.
What does the group number of A elements in the AB numbering system tell about valence electrons?
The group number of A elements in the AB numbering system indicates the number of valence electrons. For example, elements in Group 1 have 1 valence electron, elements in Group 2 have 2 valence electrons, and so on. Valence electrons are important because they determine the chemical properties and reactivity of an element.
Elements across a series have the same number of?
valence electrons, which determine their chemical properties and how they form bonds with other elements. This shared electron configuration gives elements within the same group similar reactivity and properties.
