When two atoms are held together because their valence electrons orbit around both of them they are united by what type of bond?

Covalent. Get it? Co- means together, and "valent" isn't actually a word but it's similar to valence.

What term is used for the electrons in the outermost shell?
there called valence electrons
Are electron shells and valence electrons the same thing?
Valency is the number of electrons in the outer shell the charge is how many electrons is needed to form an octet (full valence = 8 electrons) Eg. Sulfur valence = 6 charge = -2 (needs to gain 2 electrons to gain an octet)
Does a Lewis dot diagram show only the valence electrons?
Yes, in a Lewis diagram, the valence electrons are shown by dots around them.
Is radon a good conductor of electricity?
No, there are no valence electrons to move around.
Do you always follow the octet rule when drawing a Lewis structure?
Yes, because all atoms must have 8 electrons around it. (Full valence orbital)
How many valence electrons need to be accommodated in the Lewis structure for LiCl?
You will have 8 valence electrons around Cl (it usually has 7 but gained one from Li). There are no valence electrons to show around Li because it gave it's valence electron to Cl. Answered by a chemistry teacher.

How many valence electrons does barium have?
There are 2 valence electrons in Barium.
Why are the valence electrons located in an atom?
If you mean "where are the valence electrons" then they are flying around the outside of the atom.If you mean "why" then I don't know. they're just there to be the outermost set of electrons.

What is part of an atom that move around the outer shells?
the valence electrons
Is radon a good conductor of electricity?
No, there are no valence electrons to move around.
The chemical behavior of an atom depends upon?
The outermost electrons, meaning the ones in the valence shell of the atom.
In an periodic table dots around an elements symbol indicate the number of valence electrons in an atom?
yes, the number of dots represent the number of valence electrons in the periodic table.
How the electrons are arranged around nucleus an how they affect its reactivity?
Electrons are arranged in electron clouds around the nucleus. The reactivity is determined by the number of valence electrons, or electrons in the outermost energy levels. All atoms (except for hydrogen who wants 2 electrons and boron who wants 6) want 8 valence electrons, or a full outer energy level. This makes them stable (like the noble gases). If an atom has 1 valence electron it will desperately want to lose that electron while an atom with 7 electrons will want to gain one electron. All atoms have the goal of 8 valence electrons. Also, the 1st energy level only has 2 electrons. After that there is 8 electrons (approximately, because you can never truly determine where an electron is inside of an atom at any given time).
Where are the electrons found in an atoms?
The electrons in the atom are found on the outer rings, the limit of 2 on the first up to 8 on the valence ring. The number of the electrons found on the valence ring determines where the chemical is placed on the Periodic Table.
