What happens to valence electrons as an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?
At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.
What happens to the valence electrons when new compounds are formed in covelant bonding?
valence electrons are shared in covalent bonding
What happens to the number of valence electrons when atoms combine to form a compound?
They Share Electrons
Carbons valence electrons?
A carbon needs 8 electrons to have a solid shell so it usually form 4 other bonds to combine with the 4 electrons it already has
What is another name for outermost electrons?
Electrons in the outermost shell are valence electrons!
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
The outermost electrons in an atom are called?
Valence electrons
When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the the atoms?

What is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conduct heat amd electricity?

What are the electrons in the outmost shell of an atom called?
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
How many total valence electrons does NaCl have?
The NCl3 molecule, like most other stable molecules, exist because they share electrons in such a way as to close out the valence shell. Therefore, although one usually doesn't say so in regards to molecules, NCl3 has 8 valence electrons.
What are valence and electrons?
Valence electrons are the ones which participate in chemical reactions in some way, either by moving from one atom to another, or by being shared with another atom. They are found in the outer shell of an atom (there are usually inner shells with other electrons that are not valence electrons, although in the lightest elements, there are no inner shells and all electrons are valence electrons).
