electrons
I figured it out electrons XD
The electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
In a chemical reaction, it is the outer electrons of atoms that interact with each other. These outer electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds between atoms, which ultimately results in the formation of new substances.
Electrons are the parts of an atom that participate in chemical reactions. Specifically, it is the outermost electrons, known as valence electrons, that are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
The Electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom
The mass of an atom remains constant during a chemical reaction. According to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged. Therefore, the total mass of the atoms involved in a chemical reaction will remain the same before and after the reaction.
No. Only the electrons in the outer most shell take part in chemical reactions.
Before the reaction, the atoms and molecules are called reagents. After the reaction, the resulting atoms and molecules are called products.As a reaction occurs, the reagents may form an activated complex and almost immediately decay into products.
the number of protons and neutrons
A standard chemical reaction always and only involves a change in the electron configuration of the atom (either the number of electrons or their energy configuration).If the nucleus is affected (either the number of protons or electrons), then it is designated as a nuclear reaction, and this is quite different.
no it is a chemical reaction!
The outer shell electrons of an atom are involved in chemical bonding
