Spinning or revolving is really just a model, a wy of explaining the phenomenon. It could be that the particles do not in fact spin as a top or ball at all it is just convenient way to explain behavior. As waves in the electromagnetic fields, electrons do not spinn!

What at the atomic level what makes elements reactive?

their atoms take,give,or share electrons with other atoms :)


Are having eight valence electrons makes atoms very reactive?

No, eight valence electrons completely fills the valence band and makes the atom inert. The most reactive atoms have either one valence electron or seven valence electrons.


What makes a substance magnetic?

Magnetic objects must contain atoms with unpaired electrons. No unpaired electrons=no magnetism.


What happen to carbon atoms valence electrons when it bonds with other atoms?

When carbon atoms bond with other atoms, they share or transfer valence electrons to complete their outer electron shell. This sharing or transferring of electrons creates chemical bonds with other atoms, allowing carbon to form various compounds essential for life.


How many electrons are in a hydroperoxyl?

There are 16 electrons from the oxygen atoms, one from the hydrogen atom and one from the charge, that makes 18 electrons altogether. Its valency is 1.


What makes group 1 the most reactive?

If I recall correctly, it's because they don't have any electrons in their atoms. Atoms react in order to get a full set of 8 electrons, and the less electrons an atom has, the more likely they are to react.


What makes atoms and elements alike?

both have a nucleus of protons and neutrons and outer orbits of electrons


Who is an atom?

An atom is not a person. It makes up a person. It makes up matter. All matter consists of atoms and molecules. Atoms consist of 3 things, protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What property of the electrons in insulators prevents them from moving?

In insulators, electrons are tightly bound to their respective atoms, which makes it difficult for them to move freely within the material. This is because the energy required to detach the electrons from the atoms is high, preventing them from conducting electricity easily.


What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?

The high electronegativity of oxygen makes it attract electrons more strongly than hydrogen. This unequal sharing of electrons creates a polar covalent bond due to the partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on hydrogen.


How may electrons are there in 4.15381023 atoms of Carbon 13?

You can NOT have a fraction of an atom. Your question therefore makes no sense and can not have an answer.


What subatomic particle causes atoms to react?

Electrons cause atoms to react. Atoms react to achieve a filled valence shell, which for most elements is 8, but 2 for hydrogen, lithium, and berylllium, because having 8 valence electrons, or 2 for H, Li, and Be, makes the atoms stable.
