Electrons are extremely small particles that circle the nucleus of an atom in an orbital. Electrons are negatively charged and balance the positive charge of the proton, in the nucleus. Valence electrons are either added or eliminated from an element during chemical reactions. Valence electrons are important in bonding, and the sharing of those electrons.

Which subatomic particle determines reactivity?

Electrons are the subatomic particles that determine the reactivity of an element. The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, known as valence electrons, determines how likely an atom is to form chemical bonds with other atoms.
