Detailed explanation-1: -Valence electrons occupy the outermost shell or highest energy level of an atom while core electrons are those occupying the innermost shell or lowest energy levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Valence electrons are the electrons in the highest occupied principal energy level of an atom.
Detailed explanation-3: -The electrons on the outermost energy level of the atom are called valence electrons. The valence electrons are involved in bonding one atom to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -In chemical bonding, only the valence electrons i.e., the electrons located in the orbitals of the outermost energy level (valence shell) of an element is involved.
Detailed explanation-5: -The electrons in the outermost shell of atoms are those that become involved in chemical bonds. These are called valence electrons.
