What defines valence electrons in an atom?
They are the electrons located in the outermost energy level
How do valence electrons contribute to chemical bonding?
By interacting with other atoms' valence electrons
Why are valence electrons more significant in predicting an atom's behavior than other electrons?
Because they interact with other atoms' valence electrons
Which statement best describes the relationship between an atom's electrons and its nucleus charge?
The electrons balance out the nucleus charge
