When an element reacts with another element, they form a compound. How a compound is formed has to do with the number of valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons which are held in the outer most energy level.

What is the smallest chemical unit of matter?
The smallest unit of a chemical element is the iron.
Where are the three basic parts of an atom labeled?
The three basic parts of an atom is the nucleus,protons and neutrons
Function of NADPH?
An easily understood explanation is: NADPH carries high-energy electrons that were produced by light absorption in chlorophyll to chemical reactions elsewhere in the cell. NADPH is a chemical compound which gives hydrogen atom for the formation of the carbohydrate in the dark reactions of the photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is completed in two steps: Light reactions dark reactions Another explanation: NADPH provides a source of hydrogen for reduction reactions in photosynthesis. In the light independent reactions carbon dioxide is converted into carbohydrate: CO2 --------> CH2O NADPH provides the hydrogen needed for this reaction.
What determines the chemical activity of an atom?
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.
Examples of organic chemicals?
Organic chemistry is a sub discipline involving study of structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials. An example of this is photosynthesis.
What of an atom's electrons are involved in chemical reactions?
The electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
What are valence shell electrons?
Electrons in the outermost orbitals of an atom. They determine the chemical reactivity of an atom and are the primary electrons that participate in chemical reactions.
What determines the type of chemical reactions that atom participate in?
the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell
what parts of the atom that are involved in chemical reactions are the?
I figured it out electrons XD
What are valence shells?
Electrons in the outermost orbitals of an atom. They determine the chemical reactivity of an atom and are the primary electrons that participate in chemical reactions.
What parts of a magnesium atom interact with other atoms during chemical reactions?
Some or all of its valence 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 parts of the atoms interact in a chemical reaction?
Electrons are involved in chemical reactions.
What determine the atom chemical properties?
Chemical reactions depends on the valence electrons.
What is the smallest unit of matter that can enter chemical reactions and is nondivisible by chemical means?
An atom.
Where are the electrons involved in a chemical reaction?
No. Only the electrons in the outer most shell take part in chemical reactions.
Which of an atoms are involved in chemical reactions?
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
