These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."
The electrons in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons. These electrons are the ones that are left over and they help to make chemical bonds.
The electrons in the outer energy shells are called valence electrons.

Xenon is found in group 18. It has an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 18, 18, 8 and has eight valence electrons (or eight electrons in the outer most orbital).
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)

Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.
Valence electrons are electrons found in the outer orbital (shell of an atom) They are the electrons used for bonding

Valence electrons, the outer most shell.
The elements which falls under the group 16 has 4 electrons in its outer p orbital...
The most stable outer orbital arrangement of electrons after a chemical reaction is 8 electrons. This is referred to as the octet rule in representative elements.
Valence Electrons
Group 1: have 1 valence electrons (half filled s orbital) Group 2: have 2 valence electrons (completely filled s orbital)
