Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

1 What characteristic of an element determines how its atoms can bond with other<br> atoms?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms to form molecules. Under standard conditions, atoms fill the inner shells first, often resulting in a variable number of electrons in the outermost shell.
