Chemical bonds, either ionic or covalent bonds. These electrons hold atoms together into molecules. They can be shared by atoms (in a covalent bond) or given from a metal to a non-metal. The donor atom becomes positively charged (because it now has more protons than electrons), and the recipient atom becomes negatively charged. The atoms then bond due to the electrical attraction. A good example is table salt, NaCl, which is really Na+ and Cl-.

So valence electrons are really the ones involved in ... chemistry!
