The protons in the nucleus of an atom determine the basic properties of it. Atoms are units of matte that are surrounded by electrons.

Define main energy levels and quantum numbers?

Main energy levels are designated by integers (n=1,2,3,...) and represent the overall energy of an electron in an atom. Quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) describe the specific properties of electrons, such as energy level (n), orbital shape (l), orientation in space (m), and spin (s). Each electron in an atom has a unique set of quantum numbers that determines its behavior within the atom.

Does a element have mass in it?

Yes, an element has mass. The smallest unit of an element is the atom, and the atom's mass is the amount of matter in it: the neutron(s), proton(s), and electron(s). Because the number of protons determines an element's identity, and protons have mass, elements always have mass (though this can be a tiny, almost immeasurable mass).


What determines the physical properites of matter?

The linking of the atoms of the chemical makeup of the substance(s) in question. ie at the right temp. (between 33'-212') water forms a liquid because the two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom have the right amount of electrons to link. thus there are several determining factors for physical properties of matter: temperature, atomic make-up, elevation, impurities, pressure, reactionary agents in the vicinity. Less pressure requires less heat to raise the temperature, more pressure requires more heat. Cool it to below 32' and freezes into a crystalline structure that is very strong.

What part of the atom is responsible for an atoms chemical reactivity?

the electrons and the orbits they occupy. the electron "shell" interacting with the shells of other atoms dictates the laws and the exceptions, in creating the chemical bonds and properties those elements generate.
