A group of students examine a Bohr model of an atom with 8 valence electrons. What conclusion can the students make about the chemical reactivity of the element?
a) The element is extremely reactive because the outer energy level is full.
b) The element is nonreactive because the outer energy level is full.
c) The element is somewhat reactive because the outer energy level is full.
d) Additional information is necessary to determine reactivity.

Which statement best explains why protons are used to identify an element?
a) Protons are the most easily identified subatomic particles.
b) Positive charges are most easily detected during an experiment than negative and neutral charges.
c) The number of protons is unique to each element and remains constant.
d) Protons, electrons, and neutrons must all be known.
