Electrons that participate in chemical bonding are typically located closest to the nucleus?

No. It depends what the atom is, first of all, because different atoms have different numbers of orbits and subshells.
In general, electrons want to go to a higher state (further away from the nucleus) but then they fall. The outside electrons are the ones that want to share bonds. Look up VSPER/electron configuration. I don't know how to explain it well enough, but I know how to read it.
H:H -Hydrogen shares electrons with another Hydrogen atom. Hydrogen has 1 electron-
H. ) the dot is the electron which should be written to the right of H and in the middle.
H.) your other hydrogen.
So now it looks like H:H (correctly drawn). The Hydrogens are sharing electrons in their bonds. This is why it depends on the atoms, because they have a different number of electrons that they may share. Look that up! It'll help-or at least tell you how many electrons there are for each atom.

Which electrons are generally available for bonding?
Typically, the valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost shell, of an atom are used in bonding.
What particles play the most active role in chemical bonding?
I think it's electrons.
What part of that atom is involved in bonding?
The outer or valence electrons are the ones involved in bonding.Valence electrons
Why does knowing the number of electrons in an atom's outermost shell help to understand chemical bonding?
In chemical bonding only valence electrons are only involved in bond formation.So,we should know about the no.of electrons in atoms to understand bonding of atoms.
How many non bonding electrons does carbon have?
The electrons out of ionic bonds and covalent bonds are called as non bonding electrons. Valence electrons are the bonding electrons of carbon.
Which electrons are generally available for bonding?
Typically, the valence electrons, the electrons in the outermost shell, of an atom are used in bonding.
What particles play the most active role in chemical bonding?
I think it's electrons.
What particle of an element determines bonding?
Chemical bonding is related mainly to electrons.
What can electrons do for an atom to form a bond?
Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms to form new substances. The properties of these new substances are different from the properties of the original elements. An interaction that holds two atoms together is called a chemical bond. When chemical bonds form, electrons are shared, gained, or lost.
Which subatomic particles are involveld in chemical bonding?
The valance electrons of an element are involved in chemical bonding.
What part of an involved in a chemical bonding?
The outer shell electrons of an atom are involved in chemical bonding
What part of that atom is involved in bonding?
The outer or valence electrons are the ones involved in bonding.Valence electrons
What can be shared in chemical bonds?
Electrons are shared in chemical bonding.
Why did the protons did not participate during chemical bonding?
Chemical bonding only involves the outermost level of electrons, valence electrons. The actual reaction takes place far away from the nucleus of the atom where the protons are. There are reactions that involve the protons, though, but they are nuclear reactions, not chemical reactions. They are usually achieved through high-speed collision in labs.
The electrons involved in chemical bonding are generally found?
valence electrons
Which subatomic particle allows chemical bonding to occur?
electrons electrons
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons called?
This chemical bonding is called ionic bonding.
