What else can I help you with?
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.
An element is inactive if?
An element is inactive if it is not currently participating in a chemical reaction or physical process.
The period of an element can be determined by what?
The period of an element can be determined by its electron configuration, specifically the highest energy level that contains electrons. The period corresponds to the number of electron shells in the atom's structure. Each period represents a new energy level or shell being filled with electrons.
What word describes the outermost shell of the electrons?
The VALENCE Shell. In any chemical reaction it is the electrons in the Valence Shell that do the reacting. Any inner shells of electrons do NOT take part in a chemical reaction.
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 electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determine its?
chemical property
The element's determines how the compound will form?
It's outer valence electron shell(s).
What role does the nitrogen shell play in the chemical composition of an atom?
The nitrogen shell in an atom is the outermost electron shell that determines the atom's chemical properties and reactivity. It plays a crucial role in forming chemical bonds with other atoms to create molecules.
What characteristic of an element determines how its atoms can bonds with other?
The number of valence shell electrons will generally determine the bonding characteristics of the element in question.
What determines the type 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?
the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell
What determines types of chemical reactions that an atom participates in?
the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell
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 is an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atoms chemical properties?
It is called a valence shell electron. The number of valence shell electrons atoms of an element have can be read off the Periodic Table: Those in group one have one valence electron, those in group two have two etc. Thus, elements in the same group have the same number of valence shell electrons and so, similar chemical properties.
