An atom's valence electrons are located in the atom's innermost energy level
true or false

The mass of a neutron is equal to the mass of a proton plus the mass of an electron. true or false false true

Question 3(multiple choice worth 4 points) (04.04 lc) what does it mean when an element is reduced? it empties a valance shell, reducing its atomic radius. it gains electrons, reducing its overall charge. it increases electronegativity, reducing its ability to bond. it loses electrons, reducing its electron number.

Vi limitens. vastery test select the correct answer. which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms? a. large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily. b. large atoms have greater ionization energy, which they can utilize during a reaction. c. large atoms have a greater number of electrons that they can lose during a reaction. d. large atoms have more energy levels, so they have more energy to pass on in a reaction. reset next
