The chemical nature of an element is independent of_______________________?
Correct answer: A. The number of neutrons present in it
- A. The number of neutrons present in it
- B. The number of protons or electrons present in it
- C. Its atomic number
- D. None of these
Explanation
An element’s chemical identity is fixed by its atomic number, which is the number of protons and, in a neutral atom, electrons. Neutrons can vary to form isotopes without changing the element’s chemical nature.
