In case of non-transition elements they are not but in case of Transition elements the 2nd last (in d-block) and 3rd last (in f-block) shell also become involved in chemical bonding.

What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?
The electrons (especially the valence electrons)
How are the inner shell electrons represent in a Lewis structure?
In a Lewis dot structure (also called an electron dot structure) there are no inner electrons and shells shown because Lewis dot structures are usually used to show bonds between elements, and the inner electrons are never usually involved with the bonding of atoms.
Electrons that are not in the highest occupied energy level are called?
inner-shell electrons
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
How many electrons are there in the inner shell of nitrogen?
2, there is always 2 in the inner shell.
Which electrons in an atom make a chemical bonds?
Mostly outer electrons are involved in chemical bonds, however the inner electrons provide magnetic forces and they effect chemical reactions.
What are the electrons in the outermost she'll of an atom called?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?
The electrons (especially the valence electrons)
Do Electrons from inner shells link up to form compounds?
No, only outer shell electrons participate in chemical bonds.
Inner-shell electrons are electrons that?
inner shell electrons : the electrons that are not in the the highest occupied energy level .
How come it is that outer shell electrons participate in bonding and not the electrons that in other shells?
Inner shells of electrons are always full and cannot accept any additional electrons. Also, they can not generally lose electrons because the energy require to remove an electron from an inner shell is generally too high to be achieved in a chemical reaction.
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).
How are the inner shell electrons represent in a Lewis structure?
In a Lewis dot structure (also called an electron dot structure) there are no inner electrons and shells shown because Lewis dot structures are usually used to show bonds between elements, and the inner electrons are never usually involved with the bonding of atoms.

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).
The outer electaons are attracted to the nucleus by a force stronger than the inner shell eclectrons?
No. The outer shell (valence) electrons are not attracted towards the nucleus as strongly as are the inner (core) electrons. This is why they could be traded in and out during chemical reactions, while the core electrons normally could not.
Electrons that are not in the highest occupied energy level are called?
inner-shell electrons
How many electrons are there in the inner shell of hydrogen?
there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
