This is called the valence shell
The electrons that form bonds are called valence electrons. These electrons are in the outer most shell of an atom.
Electron Shells
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
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
Electrons in the outermost shell are called valence electrons.
Electrons in the outermost energy shell of an atom are called valence electrons.

they are referred as valence electrons. These are the electrons in outermost shell.

The question is somewhat vague. If the question were written as an atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a p-shell then the atom is a halogen. If the atom contains seven electrons in the outermost energy level and that outermost shell is a d-shell or f-shell then the atom is a metal.

Valence
The electrons that form bonds are called valence electrons. These electrons are in the outer most shell of an atom.
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
