The period of an element can be determined by what?
The total number of electron shells in an atom has determines its period grouping.
The element's determines how the compound will form?
It's outer valence electron shell(s).
What does a valence shell have to do with chemical reactions?
The valance shell is important in chemical reactions, as it is the valance electrons which are gained/lost during reactions. An atoms valance electron configuration is what largely determines its chemical reactivity.
What determines the oxidation state of an element?
The oxidation state of an element is determined by the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence electron shell.
What is a chemical property determined by?
by the number of electrons in its outermost shell
Which subatomic particle determines the behavior of an element?
The electron shell is the source of an element's chemical properties and the moderator of chemical reactions; the electron shell depends on the protons that constitute the atom
What determines if an element is a specific one?
The electrons in the outermost shell
What energy shell determines the chemical properties of an atom?
The valence shell containing the valence electrons used in chemical reactions.
The period of an element can be determined by what?
The total number of electron shells in an atom has determines its period grouping.
The element's determines how the compound will form?
It's outer valence electron shell(s).
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determine its?
chemical property
What determines the most likely oxidation state of an element?
the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell

What determines types of chemical reactions that an atom participates in?
the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell
What determines the type of chemical reactions that atom participate in?
