Explain the importance and role of electrons
Powered by Froala Editor
Electrons play a key role in chemical bonding.
- They are involved in forming ionic and covalent bonds between atoms.
The number of electrons also determines the atom's chemical behaviour.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, balancing the charges.
When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes a charged particle called an ion.
