The electrons on the outermost energy level of the atom are called valence electrons. The valence electrons are involved in bonding one atom to another. The attraction of each atomâs nucleus for the valence electrons of the other atom pulls the atoms together. As the attractions bring the atoms together, electrons from each atom are attracted to the nucleus of both atoms, which âshareâ the electrons.
Creating Bonds. Electrons play a major role in all chemical bonds. There is one type of bonding called electrovalent bonding (ionic), where an electron from one atom is transferred to another atom. You wind up creating two ions as one atom loses an electron and one gains one. The second type of bonding is called covalent bonding, where electrons are actually shared between two or more atoms in a cloud. Both types of bonds have specific advantages and weaknesses.
