Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that chemical bonding involves the interaction between atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
Recognize that atoms consist of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Recall that protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom and do not participate in chemical bonding.
Identify that electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus and are responsible for forming chemical bonds.
Conclude that electrons, particularly the valence electrons (those in the outermost shell), are the subatomic particles most involved in chemical bonding.
