Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The effect of the nucleus on the chemical properties of the atom is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
With the help of the number and arrangement of electrons of the atom, the chemical properties of the atoms are determined.
Answer to Problem 1A
The chemical properties of the atom depend on the numbers and settlement of the electrons of the atom which are present outside the nucleus of the atom. So, there is no effect of the nucleus on the chemical properties of the atom.
Explanation of Solution
In chemistry, generally deals with the electrons as compared to the nucleus. Those elements which have a greater number of electrons, there only outermost shell electrons are involved in the
Chemical properties of the atoms are depended upon the electrons and their arrangement.
