sideelektrone
Sideelektronen are electrons that are not directly involved in the formation of chemical bonds between atoms. They are often found in the outermost electron shells of atoms and are not part of the valence shell, which is the outermost shell that determines the chemical properties of an element. Sideelektronen play a crucial role in the physical properties of materials, such as electrical conductivity and magnetism, but they do not contribute to the formation of chemical bonds. In some cases, sideelektronen can be transferred or shared between atoms, leading to the formation of ionic or covalent bonds, respectively. However, these electrons are not considered sideelektronen in the context of the chemical bond. Sideelektronen are also known as core electrons or inner-shell electrons. They are typically not involved in chemical reactions and are not easily removed from the atom.
