The 70 pages that link to Valence electron, each with the reason it gives.

• Periodic tableBroader topic: Valence electrons help explain the shared reactions of a group.

• Covalent bondBroader topic: These are the electrons atoms share in covalent bonds.

• Electron configurationBroader topic: Outer-shell occupancy is the configuration feature most directly tied to bonding.

• Chemical bondBroader topic: These electrons are the main participants in ordinary chemical bonds.

• ElectronegativityBroader topic: These are the electrons whose unequal sharing electronegativity describes.

• Alkali metalBroader topic: Each alkali metal has one outer-shell electron, which it readily loses.

• Metallic bondingBroader topic: Valence electrons become delocalized in the standard account of metallic bonding.

• Octet ruleBroader topic: Octet counting concerns the electrons available in an atom’s outer shell.

• Periodic lawBroader topic: Valence electrons account for many recurring similarities among elements in a group.

• AnionBroader topic: Anions commonly gain electrons into their outer electron shell.

• Metal (chemistry)Broader topic: Metal atoms’ relatively available valence electrons enable metallic bonding and positive ions.

• Valence shellBroader topic: These are the individual particles that make the shell chemically consequential.

• Polar covalent bondBroader topic: Covalent bonds share valence electrons between bonded atoms.

• Carbon groupBroader topic: Each carbon-group element has four electrons available in its outer shell.

• Electron countingBroader topic: Electron counting begins by identifying which electrons can enter bonds.

• Valence and conduction bandsBroader topic: Such electrons form many of the occupied states in solids.
