Concept introduction:
Electrons are the negatively charged particles that are present around the nucleus of an atom.
Answer to Problem 30SSC
Valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom and these electrons determine the ability of an atom to form bonds with other atoms.
Explanation of Solution
Electrons are the negatively charged particles that are present around the nucleus of an atom.
Valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom and these electrons determine the ability of an atom to form bonds with other atoms.
Thus, valence electrons are electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom and these electrons determine the ability of an atom to form bonds with other atoms.
