Which of an atom's electrons are inrolved in chemical reactions?

Electrons at the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. They determine many of the properties of an element. That's because these electrons are involved in chemical reactions with other atoms. Shared electrons bind atoms together to form chemical compounds.

Explanation:

electrons farthest from the nucleus of the atom. they are called valence electrons

i believe that it is a exoplanet

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
