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.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the number of protons during chemical bonding?
In chemical bonding, the number of protons remains the same. That's because the original elements involved in the chemical reaction remain the same as regards their nuclei. Nothing involving the nucleus of an atom is changed in chemical reactions. This differentiates chemical reactions from nuclear reactions, where changes in atomic nuclei are what makes a nuclear reaction a nuclear reaction.
Why can only electrons be lost or gained?
Electrons can be lost or gained because they are the subatomic particles that reside in the outer shells of an atom and are involved in chemical bonding. Their relatively low mass and energy levels allow them to be easily transferred between atoms during chemical reactions, leading to the formation of ions. In contrast, protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus and are held together by strong nuclear forces, making them far less mobile and unable to participate in chemical bonding processes in the same way.
What happens during the bonding of two amino acids?
Chemical Condensation.
What part of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions?
The nucleus of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which do not participate in chemical bonding or reactions. Chemical reactions involve the electrons in the outer energy levels of an atom.
What does the bonding power of an element mean?
Dmitri Mendeleev used the property of bonding power when developing his periodic table. Bonding power refers to the number of bonds an element forms during a chemical change. But Mendeleev could not explain bonding power because he didn't know about the structure of atoms. (search Dmitri Mendeleev's periodic table)
Is the heart produced through chemical bonding?
No, the heart is a complex organ composed of muscle tissue that is formed during early stages of embryonic development. It is not produced through chemical bonding.
What does the net ionic equation show about a reaction?
The net ionic equation shows the chemical species that are directly involved in the reaction, excluding spectator ions that do not participate in the actual chemical change. It focuses on the ions or compounds that undergo a change in oxidation state or bonding during the reaction, providing a clearer picture of the essential chemical processes occurring.
What particles play the most active role in chemical bonding?
I think it's electrons.
When Group 7A elements in a periodic table form ions do they lose or gain protons?
The elements in group 7A or 17, gain one electron during ionic bonding, or share one electron when undergoing covalent bonding.
When a substance changes into a different substance what change has occured?
Reactants form product(s) during a chemical reactions, generally by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, or chemical bonding.
When a substance changes into a different substance a change has occured?
Reactants form product(s) during a chemical reactions, generally by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, or chemical bonding.
What does reactants mean in science?
Reactants are the substances that participate in a chemical reaction and are consumed to produce products. They are the starting materials that undergo chemical changes during the reaction.
