valence electrons
In most compounds, valence electrons are involved in forming bonds.
Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.
The electrons that form bonds are called valence electrons. These electrons are in the outer most shell of an atom.
Valence atoms are actually electrons. These particular electrons are what helps form chemical bonds. They are free to attach to other atoms to form compounds and molecules.
The valence electrons of an atom determine how the element forms chemical bonds with other elements to form chemical compounds.

valence electrons
Valence electrons-electrons that are farthest from an atoms nucleus- are the electrons that form bonds with other atoms.
The number of electrons of both atoms and its valence number.
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons of the valence shell.
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
