What keeps an atom held together?
Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.
Where in the atom are the electrons that are used to form bonds located?
The electrons that participate in chemical bonds are located in the "valence shell" or outer energy level of that atom. They are known as the valence electrons, and they are the only part of the atom that participates in a chemical reaction.
What deterimines an atom's chemical properties?
The chemical behavior of an atom depends mostly on the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
How many chemical bonds can carbon form with other atom?
Four
What allows one atom to physically interact with a second atom?
Electrons are the particles in atoms that are involved in chemical reactions.
Which particles of the atom participate in the formation of chemical bonds?
electrons. More specifically, valance electrons
What part of the atom makes chemical bonds?
orbital
What atom hold chemical bonds together?
Carbon
How is a chemical bonding formed?
There are two types of chemical bonds. Covalent bonds occur when two atoms share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when a positively charged atom binds with a negatively charged atom.
What part of the atom bonds in a chemical reaction?
the valence electrons
What are the only parts of an atom chemical bonds?
Valence electrons
What are the only parts an atom that make chemical bonds?
Electrons.
Can an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons form chemical bonds with other atoms?
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What keeps an atom held together?
Particles in an atom have opposite electrical charges, which cause the particles to attract each other, kind of like how positive and negative magnets stick together.
What happens to the atom in substance after a chemical reaction?
Nothing, it just bonds with another atom, radical.
Where in the atom are the electrons that are used to form bonds located?
The electrons that participate in chemical bonds are located in the "valence shell" or outer energy level of that atom. They are known as the valence electrons, and they are the only part of the atom that participates in a chemical reaction.
What are the subatomic particles that determine an atom's chemical behavior?
electrons
