electron arrangement determines the chemical properties of an atom

Question 1

out of protons/electrons/neutrons, which are only involved in chemical

Answer 1

only electrons are involved in chemical activity

Question 2

electrons occur in energy levels called what?

Answer 2

electron shells

Question 3

how many electron shells may an electron have?

Answer 3

an atom may have 1, 2, or 3 electron shells

Question 4

what determines the chemical properties of the atom?

Answer 4

the number of electrons in the outermost shell

Question 5

the 1st shell is full wit how many electrons? the second and third can hold up to how many electrons?

Answer 5

1st shell: full with 2 electrons

2nd/3rd shell: 8 electrons

Question 6

what shells are filled first?

Answer 6

lower shells

Question 7

atoms whose shells are not full tend to interact with other atoms and do what with the electrons?

what do these interactions do?

Answer 7

tend to interact with other atoms and gain, lose, or share electrons

these interactions form chemical bonds
