Bonding: Role of the Electron

This overview explores the essential function of electrons in chemical bonding and their behavior within electron shells. Electrons exist in fixed regions known as electron shells around the nucleus of an atom. With a negative charge, electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus, influencing their bonding potential. The valence shell, or outermost shell, is critical for atom interactions, as it determines bonding capabilities. Internal shells play no role in bonding. This information is crucial for understanding molecular interactions and reactions in chemistry.

  1. Chase Mercier, Mason Shorkey, Chapman Toman Bonding: Role of the Electron

  2. Electrons occupy spaces called electron shells, or energy shells. Electron shells: Generally fixed regions around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge Role of the Electron

  3. Can only have a maximum of seven electrons. The ones that are closest to the nucleus are most strongly attracted to positive charge. The ones that are farther out are less securely held and are more likely to connect with different atoms. Electrons

  4. Shells can only hold so many electrons. The closer to the nucleus, the lesser the shell can hold. The only shell that matters during bonding is the outermost shell. (Valence Shell) Internal shells are not involved. Electrons Shells
