It is true. The chemical properties of atoms are primarily based on the electron configuration, particularly the number of electrons in the outer or valence shell, while the nuclear properties of atoms are primarily based on the proton/neutron configuration in the nucleus.

How are two atoms of the same elements alike?

They have all the chemical, physical, nuclear properties identical. This is not the case for isotopes.


Does hassium have physical properties?

Yes, hassium is a synthetic element with no stable isotopes. It is highly radioactive, and its physical properties have been difficult to study in detail due to its short half-life. Its properties are largely predicted by its position in the periodic table.


Are neutrons important in chemical reaction?

No, absolutely not. There are much smaller particles, first Electrons (which are part of reactions), Then Quarks that neutrons and protons are made of (and are part of reactions), and much, much smaller particles after that also are involved in chemical reactions.


What is nuclear chemistry?

Nuclear chemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the chemical and physical properties of elements as influenced by changes in the structure of atomic nuclei. It involves processes such as radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, and the use of radioactive isotopes in various applications such as medicine, industry, and research.


What effect does the presence of an extra neutron have on the chemical properties of the new atoms formes?

The addition of neutrons to the nucleus of an atom creates a new isotope of the element. It changes the nuclear properties of the atom, but has no effect on its chemical properties. Chemical reactions occur as the result of interactions between the electrons of atoms, not their nucleii so, for example, Carbon-12 and Carbon 14 will react chemically in exactly the same ways. The resulting compounds will have identical chemical properties but different molecular weights.

What is the impact of the effective nuclear charge on the chemical properties of oxygen?

The effective nuclear charge of oxygen affects its chemical properties by influencing the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. This can impact factors such as atomic size, ionization energy, and electron affinity, which in turn affect how oxygen interacts with other elements in chemical reactions.

What is the significance of the effective nuclear charge of aluminum in determining its chemical properties?

The effective nuclear charge of aluminum plays a significant role in determining its chemical properties because it affects the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This attraction influences the ability of aluminum to form chemical bonds with other elements, impacting its reactivity and behavior in chemical reactions.


What chemical is similar to uranium?

Plutonium is a chemical element that is similar to uranium in terms of its radioactive properties and use in nuclear reactions. Both elements can undergo fission reactions and are used in nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.


What is the significance of the effective nuclear charge of beryllium in determining its chemical properties?

The effective nuclear charge of beryllium plays a significant role in determining its chemical properties because it affects the attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons. This attraction influences the atom's ability to form bonds with other atoms, impacting its reactivity and overall behavior in chemical reactions.


Does an atom of plutonium processess all properties of a larger qualitity of plutonium?

Yes, it is true for all chemical elements. But attention: isotopes of an element have different nuclear properties.


How the sun helps the stars to glow?

It doesn't. The nuclear/chemical reaction that powers the other stars is entirely independent of what our sun is doing.


What is the nuclear charge of silicon?

The nuclear charge of silicon is 14. This means that a silicon atom contains 14 protons in its nucleus, which determines its position on the periodic table and its chemical properties.


What kind of properties can be observed only when the substances in a sample of matter are changing into different substances?

Yes, chemical properties can be determined only experimentally, as a consequence of chemical reactions. But, today chemists can made some predictions about chemical properties of a substance on the basis of existing data about chemical and physical properties.
