Chemical properties of an element determine by the number of electron
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus determines the properties of an element. Every element has its own unique number of protons, called its atomic number, which is displayed on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
Electrons
Protons determine what the element is. Although the number of electrons and protons are the same(since the atom in electrically neutral), the number of electrons is more closely tied to the chemical properties than the number of protons, especially in reactions.
The electron configurations of the elements in each main group are regular and consistent:the elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons.
Because they have gained or lost electrons and are no longer neutral.
Electrons determine the chemical properties of an atom.
Electrons determine the chemical properties.
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
quantum number
Chemical properties depend on electrons.Isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons and different number of neutrons.So they have similar chemical properties and different physical properties.
valence electrons
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.
the number of electrons
This is the number of valence electrons.
No. The properties of elements are determined by the number of protons, which in turn determines the number of electrons.
