13.Which feature of the electron configuration determines the chemical

properties of an element?
a. its total number of electrons
b. the number of electrons in the first shell
c. the number of valence electron
d. the number of electrons in the second shell
 How does the number of electrons determine the properties of an
element?
a. The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the
atom'sidentity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical
charge
b. The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the
atom's chemical charge and the number of electrons determines
atom's identity
c. because each number of electrons have chemical energy that can
determine the properties of an element
d. the number of electrons determine the properties of an element
because of the certain numbers if it has 1 then you cant determine it
but if it has 3 then you can determine it
