the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the atom.
Kernel electrons are the electrons that orbit the nucleus of atom and are NOT considered to be part of the valence shell.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
A magnesium atom has 2 electrons in its valence shell. A magnesium ion has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are considered to be the valence electrons.
Only 2 electrons can reside in the innermost shell.
Valence Electrons
Valence electrons are in the outermost shell of an atom.
Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell of the 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 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'.
