What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming bonds.

Front

Why are valence electrons important?

Back

They determine how an atom can bond with other atoms.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the outer shell of an atom?

Back

8 (octet rule).

Front

What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
