Question

When atoms form chemical bonds which of their electrons are involved in the bonds

Answer 1

The valence electrons are involved in the chemical bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemical bonds, atoms lose, gain or share electrons. The valence electrons (those located in the last energy level) in the chemical bonds are involved. These links are made to comply with the law of the octet (complete 8 electrons in the last energy level), for the chemical stability of the atoms.
