The chemical properties of an atom are determined by the ________. number of electrons in the outermost electron shell mass of the nucleus number of protons in the nucleus number of neutrons in the nucleus
Because the chemistry of an atom is determined by the number and arrangement of its _______ the properties of the nucleus do not strongly affect the chemical behavior of an atom.
The chemical behavior of an atom is largely determined by - the size of its nucleus. the electrons closest to the nucleus. its outermost electrons. the number of neutrons it has. the size of neutrons it has.
