In metals the valence electrons are considered to be?
(B) Shared by all surrounding atoms. : )
What theory predicts molecular shapes based on the extent of electron repulsion?
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory
Are electrons are used in bonding are called valence or ionic?
They are called valence electrons. Ionic is a bond between a nonmetal and a metal. A covalent bond(molecular bond) is between two or more non metals.
Why is oxygen molecule paramagnetic?
Answer 1) O2 molecule has two unpaired electrons which is only proved by Molecular orbitals theory (M.O.T). the M.O.T may be checked in any standard book of Inorganic chemistry.Answer 2) If you examine the orbital diagram for dioxygen, it contains a SOMO (Singly-Occupied Molecular Orbital) with 2 unpaired electrons. Dinitrogen does not have this. These unpaired electrons contribute to magnetism.
What is another name for outermost electrons?
Electrons in the outermost shell are valence electrons!
What is the influence valence electrons has on molecular bond types?
Since the valence electrons are the outermost electrons of atoms, they have the highest opportunity to overlap with other orbitals in the valence shells of other atoms. Therefore, they influence the most in forming bonds.
How do valence electrons influence molecular bonding?
Since the valence electrons are the outermost electrons of atoms, they have the highest opportunity to overlap with other orbitals in the valence shells of other atoms. Therefore, they influence the most in forming bonds.

What predicts that atoms will react with each other to become more stable by filling their valence shells with eight electrons?
the octet rule does

Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory
How are molecular geomety predicted?
The most used method is VSEPR - Valence Shell Electrons Pair Repulsion.
