Question
Which participates in chemical reactions? (3 points)ProtonsNeutronsElectronsGamma rays
Solution
Electrons participate in chemical reactions. Here's why:
-
Chemical reactions involve the making and breaking of chemical bonds, which are the result of interactions between the electrons of different atoms.
-
Protons and neutrons, located in the nucleus of an atom, do not participate in chemical reactions. They remain in the nucleus and their number defines the identity of the element.
-
Gamma rays are high energy photons emitted by radioactive substances. They do not participate in chemical reactions as they are not part of the atom's structure.
So, the answer is electrons.
