Chemistry is mostly about electrons and chemical bonds. Valence electron is an electron in the outer shell of an atom (valence shell) which can combine with other atoms to form molecules. For example, the valence electrons of Magnesium is 3s electrons. Electrons, protons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are found in an element's atom and it tells us the characteristics of that particular element. For example, Oxygen has a mass number of 16 with atomic number 8 which means there are 8 electrons and 8 protons. The number of neutrons is always equal to the mass number- the atomic number. In this case it is 16 - 8=8. There are two types of chemical bonds: Covalent Bond and Ionic Bond. Covalent Bond is a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule. An Ionic Bond is a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion.
