Question

question 10 (1.5 points) saved an atoms reactivity with other atoms depends upon the status of its ________. protons total number of electrons total number of electron shells neutrons valence electrons

Explanation:

Valence electrons are in the outermost shell and participate in chemical bonding. The number and arrangement of valence electrons determine an atom's reactivity as they are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms. Protons affect atomic number, total electrons and electron - shell numbers are not as directly related to reactivity as valence electrons, and neutrons affect mass and stability but not reactivity in the same way as valence electrons.

Answer:

valence electrons
