    Protons determine an element's identity, as each element has a unique number of protons. Valence electrons, which are on the outermost shell, determine an element's chemical properties and reactivity, as elements with the same number of valence electrons have similar properties. An element's reactivity depends on its ability to gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, with group 1 and 17 elements being the most reactive as they need only gain or lose one electron.

    Identify that protons determine an
    element’s identity and valence
    electrons determine its chemical
    properties, including reactivity.
    Vocabulary
    Valence Electron- electrons on the
    outermost shell.
    Reactivity- Its ability to react based
    on the number of electrons.
    Balanced Atom- An atom with a full
    electron shell.
    Protons= Identity
    ● Each element has a different number of
    protons, therefore, the number of protons
    determines the number of the element.
    ● To identify the element, count the number of
    protons in the element and find it on the
    Periodic Table.
    Electrons= Chemical
    Properties
    ● Elements with the same number of valence
    electrons have the same chemical
    properties.
    ● These Elements are located in the same
    column.
    Valence Electrons=
    ●
    Reactivity
    In order to become a balanced atom, the
    atom must give or take a few electrons to
    complete the shell
    ● An atom with a full shell is the least reactive
    ● An atom that gives or takes the least is the
    most reactive
    ● Therefore, elements in group 1 and 17 are
    the most reactive
