In: Chemistry
Chemical properties of an element are primarily dependent upon
1. |
the number of main energy levels , electron shells, of the element |
|
2. |
the number of electrons in the innermost shell of the atom |
|
3. |
the electron configuration of the element |
|
4. |
the atomic mass of the element |
correct answer : 3.) the electron configuration of the element
Explanation :
Electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals
it represents the number of valence electrons in outer most shell.
the chemical properties are depends on that.
