Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrons that are in the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. The position of an element within a period can help to determine the element’s electron configuration and number of valence electrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Valency tells us only the total number of electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom and so it is different from the atomic number. Therefore, the outermost shell of an atom is known as valence shell.
