Why are valence electrons important

Chemistry

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. Now you might be asking why are valence electrons so important well valence electrons are the electrons in the highest energy level of an atom. They are important because these electrons are involved in chemical bond formation.

Explanation:

The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are the valence electrons. These electrons are the most loosely held in an atom.

The energy required to remove these electrons are not as great as those of the inner shell electrons.

  • Atoms of some elements show no tendency to combine with other  atoms because they have completely filled outer energy levels.
  • Their outermost shell, valence shell and the electron numbers are complete for them. These are the noble gases.
  • other atoms share or exchange their valence electrons in order to have a stable configuration.
  • The valence electrons are involve in inter-atomic bond formation and interactions
  • Also the distribution of these electrons determines inter-molecular interactions between molecules.

denis23 [38]
The reactions that will take place will generate Zinc salts that will taint the food. Excessive levels of these salts can cause sickness, so it is very important to ensure food hygiene standards are met by keeping acidic foods away from damaging materials like zinc that will erode and get into the food.
