No, they arent. Valence electrons are the amount of electrons the element has in its outermost shell. Electrons dont bond, they can either be shared or transferred. An ionic bond transfers electrons and a covalent bond shares electrons.

Why do groups among the main -group elements display similar chemical behavior?
The electron configurations of the elements in each main group are regular and consistent:the elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons.
What type of chemical bond are valence electrons shared?
Covalent bond
What happens to a valence electron in a metallic bond?
Valence electrons in a metallic bond are delocalized and can move freely within the metal atoms. This gives metals their malleability and luster.
When a chemical bond is formed the constituent atoms acquire the valence electron configuration of noble gases called?
helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
What is a Chemical bond created by electron sharing between atoms?
It is a covalent bond.
What is valence orbital?
A valence electron, also known as valence orbital, is basically composed of electron and atoms that can make a chemical bond. Valence electrons identify other elementÕs chemical properties to determine if the element may bond with other elements.
An electron that participates in a chemical bond?
Electrons participating in the chemical bond is valence electrons or the electrons present in the outer shell
Lithium has one valence electron Bromine has seven valence electrons How might they form a chemical bond?
lithium donates an electron to bromine
What type of electron is available to form a bond?
In general, it is a valence electron that an atom makes available to form chemical bonds.
Are exchanged or shared during the formation of a chemical bond?
They are the electrons in the (outer) valence shell
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
What is the valence electron configuration like the noble gases called when a chemical bond is formed between the constituent atoms?
These are complete filled electron shells.
Which elements would be most likley to lose electrond in a chemical bond?
Li, or lithium, is the element most likely to lose electrons in a chemical bond. Lithium has 1 valence electron.
Why is valence important in the understanding chemical bonds?
Valence bond and molecular orbital theories are used to explain chemical bonding A single covalent bond represent the sharing of two valence electrons (two different atoms). Ionic bonding is typically transfer of electron(s) between a metal and a nonmetal
Which is not a type of chemical bond covalent hydrogen electron or ionic?
which is not a type of chemical bond, covalent, electron, ionic, or hydrogen
What electrons in valence are able to take part in a chemical bond?
the outermost shell valence electrons takes part in chemical bond...
How can you use chemical bonding and valence electron in a sentence?
Just think of the sentence you want to use and substitute it in for the noun. I have a chemical imbalance. Do not eat the chemicals. That chemical is tungsten.
