Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
The outer shell is called the valence shell
The valence shell is the outer most shell or imaginary orbit of an atom containing <8 electrons. The electrons in this shell are called 'valence electrons'.

the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
Valence Electrons
The VALENCE Shell. In any chemical reaction it is the electrons in the Valence Shell that do the reacting. Any inner shells of electrons do NOT take part in a chemical reaction.
No. Nitrogen has five electrons in its valence shell.
There are 6 valence electrons in the sulfur atom.
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
The electrons in the outermost shell is called as valence electron. These electrons are free and they are involved in bonding reactions.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. They are the electrons available for bonding and generally determine the number of bonds an atom can make
