It will depend on the chemical properties of the atom and the other atom. If one element is highly unstable and the other one is also highly unstable, it is likely something will happen, such as combustion. If a moderately unstable element touches a highly stable and inert element, it will be likely that the more inert and stable element will not react with it because of its stubborn nature. If, however, the element is not so inert and stable, the more unstable element might win over.
if there is space on the outer electron shell, electron shells follow a rule where the 1st shell can only contain 2 electrons, 2nd shell can contain 8 along with the third one. etc
Actually, the answer is "if a more stable state can result from the union"
An atom will react with another atom only if the outer shell is not full . otherwise if the outer shell is full they will not react with one another.
its protonts and netrons
their outermost orbital is full
depends on the charges, either negative or positive
The chemical behavior of an atom is determined by its electron configuration - that is, the distribution of electrons in the atom's shells.
These particles are the electrons.
One to one
it is its electrons, if an atom of an element is not stable which means its outershell is not full of electron is going to react more than an atom which has full shells... e.g.. take the noble gases for example they have full outershells so therefore they dont react much
If the outer shell of the atom is full, it ________ react readily with other atoms.Answer - Does not!
valence electrons
When atoms get close to one another the magnetic force repels each other or attracts each other.
The electrons, or the electron cloud, of an atom affect how it reacts chemically with other atoms and molecules.
An atom must be stable because it must not react with other atoms to change it's state.
depends on the charges, either negative or positive
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
Two atoms will react if in so doing both will obtain completely filled outer shells.
When aluminum and bromine react, three bromine atoms combine with each aluminum atom.
The chemical behavior of an atom is determined by its electron configuration - that is, the distribution of electrons in the atom's shells.
