How do valence electrons impact the type of bonds an atom makes? (1 point)

Question

A small number of valence electrons means the atom will share electrons; a large number of valence electrons leads to transferring from one atom to another.
A large number of valence electrons means the atom will share electrons; a small number of valence electrons leads to transferring from one atom to another.
An atom wants a full outer shell of valence electrons, so it will either transfer or share electrons depending on what the other atom needs.
An atom wants an empty outer shell of valence electrons, so it will either transfer or share electrons depending on what the other atom needs.

Answer 1
