How can atoms influence the properties we can easily observe? What role do electrons play in different types of chemical bonds?
Atoms influence the properties we can abserve by living those properties. Based on the type of atom, you can see/ observe different things. An example of this is when metals are placed in water; you can clearly see that metals are insoluble. Therefore, atoms influence the properties we can see by living and preforming those properties. Electrons determine the type of bonding an atom has and how malleable or ductile an atom is. In metalic bonds, the electrons are contained in an electron "sea" where they are free to move around. This makes the atom ductile and malleable because the atoms can move/ roll around with the electrons and the only atoms that fit this type of bonding are metals.
