∙ 9y agoThe reactivity of an atom is dependent on its valence electrons. The further from the nucleus that the valence electrons are, the more reactive the element is.

∙ 9y agoThe atom's re-activity is based on the arrangement of the atom's electrons. The negatively charged electrons determines what the atom attracts to or not attracts to.

Is an element's reactivity determined by the number of protons found in an atom of an element?
^.^
What is the chemical behavior of an atom is determined by?
By using the activity series (sometimes called reactivity series) which orders metals by their reactivity with other metals, one can determine the reactivity of a metal
How does the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 10 compare to the reactivity of an atom with an atomic number of 5?
Boron (atomic number 5) is more reactive than neon (atomic number 10).
The bonding properties of an atom are determined by what?
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
How can you tell if an atom is chemically reactive or not?
If an atom has all of it's outer orbitals filled it is non-reactive.
Chemical reactivity of an atom is determined by?
Electron Configuration

Is an elements reactivity is determined by the number of protons found in an atom of the element?
^.^
Is an elements reactivity determined by the number of protons found in an atom of the element?
^.^
Is an elements reactivity is the determined by numbers of protons found in an atom of the elements true or false?
YES!
What are the properties of reactivity?
Reactivity refers to how vigorously an atom is to react with other substances.
What propety is determined by the valence electrons?
This is the chemical reactivity.
The stability of an atom is determined by the what?
The stability of an atom is determined by the:
How does reactivity correlate to each elements location on the periodic table?
Reactivity is associated with position. Chemical properties of element can be determined from its position.
Does the electron determine the reactivity of an atom?
Outer, or valence, shell electrons do.
The reactivity of an atom is due to its number and arrangement of in the outer energy level or orbit?
The reactivity of an atom is due to its number and arrangement of __________ in the outer energy level (or orbit). your question was confusing but I was able to interperet it. the answer is Electrons
