Protons are located inside the nucleus, so it makes it difficult for them to participate in any type of interactions with other atoms. Electrons, on the other hand, are outside the nucleus, and so are in a much better position to interact with other atoms.

Catalysis reaction are the generic potential energy. Chemical reactions is the process that leads to the transformation of a set chemical.


Atoms are what When a chemical reaction takes place?

It depends on the type of chemical reaction. A reduction-oxidation reaction (redox reaction) involves the transfer of electrons, thus electrons are involved, for example2Mg(s) + O2(g) > 2MgO(s)However, reactions involving acids or bases involve the movement of protons (acids are proton donors, bases are proton acceptors) for example:HCl(aq) + H2O(l) > Cl-(aq) + H3O+(aq)Furthermore, there are nuclear reactions which can involve almost any particle. Therefore, the type of reaction determines the particle or type of particle involved.


What part of the atom takes part in a chemical reaction?

Only the valence electrons


What part of the atoms involved in chemical bonding with other atoms?

Its actually the sub atomic particle electrons present in the atom which revolve in a definite path called orbit around the nucleus of the atom consisting of another two sub atomic particles namely proton and neuron that take part in the chemical reaction. shortly its the electron.
