Question

comparing subatomic particles lets compare the protons and valence electrons. using the descriptors below, place the correct descriptions under the subatomic particle they are describing. not all the descriptors will be used. 1. negatively charged 2. found in electron cloud 3. determines an elements chemical properties and reactivity 4. identifies an element 5. found in outermost energy level 6. found in nucleus 7. positively charged 8. neutrally charged protons | valence electrons

Explanation:

• Protons: These are positively charged subatomic particles located in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons uniquely identifies an element.
• Valence Electrons: These are electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They determine an element's chemical properties and reactivity, are negatively charged, and reside in the electron cloud.

Answer:

PROTONS

1. Identifies an element
2. Found in Nucleus
3. Positively charged

VALENCE ELECTRONS

1. Negatively charged
2. Found in Electron Cloud
3. Determines an elements chemical properties and reactivity
4. Found in outermost energy level
