When an ionic bond forms which parts of the atoms are directly involved?
All forms of chemical (ionic or otherwise) involve only the valence band electrons. These electrons reside in the outermost s orbital and outermost 3 p orbitals.
What part of that atom is involved in bonding?
The outer or valence electrons are the ones involved in bonding.Valence electrons
What is s valence electron?
It is the number of electrons on the outer level of the atom. There is a maximum of 8 valence electrons on one level.
What re valence electrons?
Valence electrons are: In chemistry, those electrons found in orbits farthest from the nucleus of the atom. These electrons determine the way in which the atom will combine with other atoms, and thus determine its chemical properties.
Where are bonding electrons between two atoms?
molecular orbital.
Chlorine is more likely to try an empty its outermost orbital by losing electrons or fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons?
Chlorine is MUCH more likely to fill its outermost orbital by gaining electrons.

What bond forms when one atom with many electrons in its outermost orbital takes an electron from another atom which has few electrons in its outermost orbital?
ionic bond
What electrons of an element are responsible for reacting and bonding with other elements?
The "valence" electrons are responsible for chemical reactions and bonding. Valence electrons are found in the outer most orbital of the atom, farthest away from the nucleus.
How many electrons are in the outermost orbital of chlorine?
chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Is Q the inner orbital for electrons?
No, Q is the outermost orbital. K is the first one.
How many inner electrons are in the element Oxygen?
Oxygen has 2 electrons in the innermost orbital and 6 in the outermost (valence) orbital.
Molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?
The answer is bonding orbital.
What determines the group an element is placed in?
The number of electrons in the outermost orbital.
Why copper have 2 values?
It has two valency electrons in its outermost orbital.
What is s valence electron?
It is the number of electrons on the outer level of the atom. There is a maximum of 8 valence electrons on one level.
