ongl pt2 a) What are valence electrons ? Where are valence electrons situated in an atom ?

Answer»

In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

They are situated at the outermost shell.
