Question
please use your periodic table as you answer the questions. take your time .... read every q carefully. you will have 30 minutes for the quiz. question 10 which electrons are involved in forming both ionic & covalent bonds? inner electrons valence electrons electric electrons all electrons
In ionic bonds, atoms transfer valence electrons to achieve a stable electron - configuration. In covalent bonds, atoms share valence electrons. Inner electrons are not involved in bonding as they are closer to the nucleus and more tightly held. There is no such thing as "electric electrons" in the context of bonding, and not all electrons are involved, just the valence electrons which are in the outermost shell and have the highest energy among electrons of an atom and are most accessible for chemical reactions.
