Question

Which part of the atom is involved in chemical bonding?

Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms have a central nucleus with positively charged protons and neutral neutrons; negatively charged electrons circle the nucleus. The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those electrons in the outermost orbit, referred to as valence electrons.

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Valence electrons are the part of an atom that is involved in chemical bonding.

• Atoms have a core nucleus that contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

• Those electrons in the outermost orbit referred to as valence electrons, are important in chemical bonding.

Molecules and chemical bonding

When atoms of the same element (e.g., C-C) or different elements (e.g., C-O, C-N, O-H) unite to form generally strong, usually neutral structures, chemical bonds are formed.
