They are typically the electrons which are involved in forming bonds to other atoms (as opposed to the other so-called "core" electrons which do not interact much with other atoms or molecules. (This is for WHAT they are not what they DO) (stupid answer by the way man)

∙ 14y agothey serve a very important roll , bonding is based off them. covalent bonds share valence electrons in order to have a complete electron shell. ionic bonds are also between the valence, where one atom gives another electrons in order to complete it.

∙ 14y agoValence electrons in metallic bounds become 'delocalized'. That means, every single metal atom in the bounds 'share' their electrons with the others, making a highly mobile electron 'cloud'. That is the reason why the most of the metals can manage electricity.

∙ 11y agoFirstly, you must know that the valence electrons are on the outer most ring of an atom, that surround the nucleus. So, with that being said, it's clear how they are able to easily bond and react with other atoms. (because of its outer most location)

∙ 15y agoValence electrons are the outermost (and therefore most weakly held in orbit) electrons in an Atom. It is because of these electrons that we are able to get compounds through the binding of elements. The valence electrons also give an indication of HOW these elements will react (example: an element very few valence electrons will be much more unstable, and more apt to react, than ones with fuller valence clouds.)

How many valence elctrons does a fluorine atom have?
A fluorine atom has seven valence electrons, as do all halogens.
Which features of an atom determines how it reacts with other atoms?
It depends on the number of valence elctrons the atom has.
When will an atom be least likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms?
When it's outer electron shell is full and it is in a cold (like near 0K) environment.
How Many Valence Electrons A Nitrogen Atom Has?
A nitrogen atom has 5 valence elctrons. To figure that out you have to count across the row that atom is in and stop at it and the number you counted up to is the number of valence electrons. So... 1st Lithium 2nd is Beryllium 3d is Boron then Carbon then 5th is Nitrogen. Your Welcome)
Elements that have one valence electron tend to?
An element that has one valence electron tends to be more reactive, is able to form ions, and can become charged When an element has all eight valence electrons, they are more stable.
How many valence elctrons are in krypton?
8
How many valence elctrons in chlorine?
7.
What are two characteristics of valence electrons?
Valence elctrons are involved in chemical reactions.
How many valence elctrons does copper have?
Copper has 4
Valence elctrons in magnesium?
The 2 electrons from 3s orbital.
How do you find valence electrons using math?
For group 12 to 17 you have to subtract 10 to get the valence elctrons.
How many valence elctrons does a fluorine atom have?
A fluorine atom has seven valence electrons, as do all halogens.
What are the four major components of macromolecules?
the 4 components are Bisedimers, Doligigirons, valence elctrons and monomer. Hope this helps!
Which features of an atom determines how it reacts with other atoms?
It depends on the number of valence elctrons the atom has.
What are two ways through valence electrons move between atoms?
They are either shared (covalent bond) or one donates and the other takes the elctrons (ionic bond).
When will an atom be least likely to form chemical bonds with other atoms?
When it's outer electron shell is full and it is in a cold (like near 0K) environment.
Why transition elements show variable valency?
Transition elements contain 2 outermost shells incompleted including the valence shell. But when it reacts with other, it shares,gives or accepts elctrons from its inner shells.
