Front

What is the definition of valence electrons?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

Front

What is the Octet Rule?

Back

The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
