Valence electrons
Valence Electrons
I suspect the term you're looking for is "valence electrons."
Stable atoms.
The sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms is called bonding.
These are the valence electrons.
No. Molecules are not in the orbitals of atoms. They are composed of multiple atoms. The electrons that dictate how they form are in the outer orbitals.
the octet rule
The electrons in the outermost shell is called as valence electron. These electrons are free and they are involved in bonding reactions.
Most atoms are stable when they have a full outer energy level, which typically consists of 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule. However, some smaller atoms, such as hydrogen and helium, are stable with only 2 electrons in their outer energy level.
Formation of covalent bonds.
Electrons are found in an atom's outer shell. The outer shell, also known as the valence shell, is where the electrons involved in chemical reactions and bonding are located. The number of electrons in the outer shell determines the atom's chemical properties.
Atoms involved in covalent bonding are just called atoms. Molecules are composed of covalently bonded atoms.
