Atomic Structure and the Particle Model · Atomic Structure

Electronic Configuration and Reactivity

Understanding how the arrangement of electrons in shells dictates the chemical behavior of elements.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does the number of valence electrons determine an element's position in the Periodic Table?
  2. 2Why do atoms seek a noble gas electronic configuration through chemical reactions?
  3. 3What is the relationship between shell distance from the nucleus and the ionization energy of an electron?
