Question

4.1 characteristics of atoms
nuclear charges contribute to the different properties of elements.
true
false

Explanation:

The nuclear charge, which is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, affects the electron - shell structure. This in turn influences chemical and physical properties of elements. For example, elements in different groups of the periodic table have different numbers of valence electrons due to the nuclear charge, leading to different chemical reactivities.

Answer:

True
