The number of valence electrons and electronegativity of an element in the unknown element determines the other elements it reacts with.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ability of an atom to attract the electrons for bonding is called electro negativity. When an atom has highjer electronegativity it can attract electrons stronger. When the atom's electronegativity is lower it can attract electrons weaker. This property is very important in the determination of how well an element can readily react with another element.  

The determination of an element's reactivity can also be done  by the number of valence electrons in the outermost shell. The elements that has valence electrons lesser than 4 will be giving its valence electron for getting 8 electrons in the next shell so that it can become an ion of stable nature. An element that has 4 electrons will form covelant bond. The elements that have greater than 4 electrons will be getting electrons from some other element.

What is the natural and human factors that affect climate?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Some of the various things that humans do to the environment is pump CO2 into the air with Fossil Fuels and using Power Plants, Cutting down trees make more CO2 which can make the Earth hotter and cause Global Warming. Some natural things that can tend to affect climate can be changes in Volcanic activity, Solar activity with the sun, and Earth's orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

It may seem crazy how Earth's orbit around the sun make climate change, but how else would 4 seasons exist. The orbit tends to be in an oval shape. The top parts of the oval, would represent winter and fall because of the distance between the sun decreases. The closer sides of the oval however, would represent Summer and spring because those are the warmer months and show that Earth is closer to the sun.
