Accepted Answer

∻Solution∻ ‖ 1 ⋮ **Identify the terms**: The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons. These electrons are responsible for the chemical properties of the atom and participate in chemical bonding. ‖ ‖ 2 ⋮ **Define the remaining electrons**: All other electrons in the atom, which are not in the outermost shell, are called core electrons. These electrons are located in the inner shells and do not usually participate in chemical bonding. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ Valence electrons, Core electrons ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Valence electrons and core electrons ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and are involved in chemical bonding. Core electrons are the electrons in the inner shells and do not participate in chemical bonding. ⚹◊What is the term for electrons in the outermost shell of an atom⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
