Respuesta :
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity.
Answer:
Valence Electrons is the answer.
Explanation:
Valence electrons are the outermost shell of electrons in an atom. The valence electrons determine the reactivity to chemical reactions an atom has. This is because those with the same number of valence electrons have similar chemical properties. It is also why elements with the same number of valence electrons are put in the same group on the periodic table.
