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.

Gemiola [76]
First, find moles of gold given the mass of the sample:
(35.9g Au)/(197.0g/mol Au) = 0.182mol Au

Second, multiply moles of Au by Avogrado's number:
(0.182mol)(6.02 x10^23)= 1.10x10^23 atoms Au

What is the difference between polar and non-polar
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Polar molecules occur when there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

Explanation:

Polar molecules occur when there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. Nonpolar molecules occur when electrons are shared equal between atoms of a diatomic molecule or when polar bonds in a larger molecule cancel each other out.

Because the first energy level contains only the 1s sublevel how many elements are located in the first periodic
Andrei [34K]
There are 4 types of orbitals. The s, p, d and f orbitals. They can contain a maximum of 2, 6, 10 and 14 electrons, respectively. So, for the 1s energy level, you would expect a maximum of 2 electrons. That includes elements 1 and 2, hydrogen and helium. <em>These are the only 2 elements in the first period.</em>
