How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atom’s chemical properties?
Responses
A Chemical properties of the atom can be shown through the orbital configuration due to the interaction of its protons with other atoms.Chemical properties of the atom can be shown through the orbital configuration due to the interaction of its protons with other atoms.
B Orbital configuration predicts the crystalline nature and structure of the atom and shows the structure formed as these atoms join together.Orbital configuration predicts the crystalline nature and structure of the atom and shows the structure formed as these atoms join together.
C Atom properties can be explained and defined through the orbital configuration and structure of the element's nucleus and its interactions.Atom properties can be explained and defined through the orbital configuration and structure of the element's nucleus and its interactions.
D The atom's orbital configuration shows the number of valence electrons present and predicts the number and types of bonds the atom will form.
