Which particles play the greatest role in creating chemical bonds?
Electrons involve in bond formation.They are responsible for bonds.
What bonds are in DNA and where are they found?
There are two types of bonds in DNA: phosphodiester bonds and hydrogen bonds. The phosphodiester bonds are the strong covalent bonds that create the phosphate-deoxyribose backbone. The hydrogen bonds links the "rungs" of the ladder, between nitrogen bases.
What is the role of an electron in an atom?
Electrons determine the ways in which atoms join together chemically, by forming bonds with other atoms. They also are carriers of electrical energy (current).
What is the primary role of an electron in an atom?
Electrons determine the ways in which atoms join together chemically, by forming bonds with other atoms. They also are carriers of electrical energy (current).
How does hydrogen bonds play a vital role for living beings to inhabit earth?
well the strong ionic bonds break to form salts ,water, CO2 ... when combinedthe strong covalent bonds do break but with extreme heat lets say you put your hand over a fire do you want to melt ...you see there must be a balance most covalantly bonded substances are usually unstable where as ionic usually form useful saltsthe week forces are like in water for example < water is a polar solvent which means that the electrons are at diffrent points and that creates attractions...>when you heat salt it doesnt melt easy but when you hit salt it breakseverthing has a balance such as in the body the week forces allow essential processes in cells and the strong bonds such as when adp has a triphosphate bond and the bond is breaken to release energy
What covalent bonds are and their role in combining atom?
covalent bond is a type of bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared.
Explain what covalent bonds are and their role in combining atoms?

What role do valence electrons play in the formation of bonds-?
The valence electron are involved in the sharing of electrons with the other atoms to form ionic bonds.
What particles plays a role in creating bonds is it neutron electron proton?
Electrons (that too the valence electrons or electrons in the outermost shell / orbital) are involced in bond formation.
What role do valance electrons playing the formation of compounds and elements?
The valence electrons are the only electrons involved in chemical bonding. In covalent bonding sharing occurs In ionic bonding electrons are tranferrred In metallic bonding they are deloclaised across the lattice
What is a covalent bond and its role in combining atoms?
A covalent bond is a bond that forms between two nonmetals in which the atoms share electrons in order for them both to have a perfect octet of valence electrons. It is the strongest type of intramolecular bond.
What is covalent bond?
a type of strong chemical in which two atoms share one or more pairs of valence electons
Bonds are attractive forces that hold compounds together What role do valence electrons play in the formation of bonds?

What role do valence electrons play in formation of bonds?
Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost "level". And depending on its electron configuration, it plays a role in which if the atom requires to gain or lose electrons in order to become "stable", it can accept or give electrons to another atom in a chemical reaction.
Is H a loss or gain of electrons in a ionic bond?
This is a trick question, since hydrogen does not form ionic bonds, only covalent bonds (or in some cases, what are called hydrogen bonds). But if you were to ask if hydrogen tends more toward being a donor of electrons (i.e., a metal) or a recipient of electrons (i.e., a non-metal) hydrogen tends to donate electrons. For example in water, H2O, all three atoms share the valence electrons (which is what makes this a covalent bond) however the electrons spend more time in the vicinity of the oxygen atom then they do in the vicinity of the two hydrogen atoms.I am going to make an addition to this answer. The element hydrogen, which is immensely important in organic chemistry, is almost always found as I described it, forming covalent bonds and having a metallic role, tending to donate electrons. However, there are other possible hydrogen compounds, such as lithium hydride (LiH) in which hydrogen does form an ionic bond, and in which it acts as an electron recipient rather than an electron donor. Hydrogen has an electronegativity that is intermediary between metal and non-metal, so it can take on either role. However, it is very rare to encounter lithium hydride, in comparison to compounds such as water, methane, ammonia, etc., in which hydrogen has the characteristics of a metal.
