How do valence electrons tell you what elements will bond together?

Atoms only bond if it helps them achieve their goals of having 8 valence electrons. That is why noble gases do not bond; they already have 8 valence electrons.

Electrons can bond with other elements using what shell?
The outer or valence shell
A compound composed of two elements that share valence electrons?
binary covalent bond
What types of elements bond with each other?
How do elements bond together to form compounds?Elements join together by gaining, sharing, or losing electrons.
What aspects of an atom determine how an atom will bond to another atom?
the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the periodic table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.
Why does carbon bond with so many different elements?
Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
Why does carbon bond with so many elements?
it has 4 valence electrons
Do valence electrons hold atoms together?
no, chemical bond does
Electrons can bond with other elements using what shell?
The outer or valence shell
A compound composed of two elements that share valence electrons?
binary covalent bond
What attracions holds together in a covalent bond?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share valence electrons.
The transfer or sharing of electrons between elements is called what?
chemical bond formation. Transfer of electron lead to formation of ionic bond and sharing of electron is called as covalent bond
How do elements combine together?
Two elements combine together by sharing electrons to form a bond.
Why do scientists group elements with similar amounts of neutrons?
They don'tThey group elements with the same number of valence electrons.The valence electrons of an element determine how that element bond and how many bonds it forms.So elements with the same number of valence electrons tend to have similar chemical properties.
Why do atoms of different elements bond together?
They like to have full valence shells.
How does the number of valence electrons affect an element?
The number of valence electrons affect the type of bond formed by an atom with other atoms as it determines the number and type of atoms it needs to bond with. An atom with one valence electron, for example, will bond with one atom that needs one electron.
What types of elements bond with each other?
How do elements bond together to form compounds?Elements join together by gaining, sharing, or losing electrons.
Is an electron a type of chemical bond?
No. Electrons are part of the atom. For example, when two atoms come together and one has 6 valence electrons and the other has 2 valence electrons, the atom with the 2 valence electrons might get bonded to the other atom with 6 valence electrons because the atom with 6 valence electrons wants to have 8 valence electrons to fill its outer shell. You might think electrons are bonds, they are not. They are what cause atoms to bond but are not bonds.
