<em>Answer:</em>

The atom consist of three parts, proton, neutron and electrons. The electrons determine that i will combine or beak from other substances.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The atom consist of three parts which are following

proton
neutron
electron

The proton and neutron form nucleus of an atom. It is present at center of an atom. They have positive charges, while electrons remained outside the nucleus in particular energy levels or shell around the nucleus.

During combination or breaking of substances ,only arrangements of electrons take place. The valence shell electrons decide whether they have to combine or not, while nucleus remained unchanged during any reactions.

Answer:

boiling point elevation - colligative property

color - non-colligative property

freezing point depression - colligative property

vapor pressure lowering - colligative property

density - non-colligative property

Explanation:

A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of particles present in the system.

Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and vapour pressure lowering are all colligative properties of solutions.
