Answer:

The valence electrons have a role in the bonding of two atoms. The nuclei of each atom are drawn together by their attraction to the valence electrons of the other atom. As the atoms are drawn together by their attractions, electrons from each atom are drawn to the nuclei of both atoms, where they are "shared."
