Best Answer

The charge of a valence Electron is negative. The word valence means the combining power of atoms: the combining power of atoms or groups measured by the number of electrons the atom or group will receive, give up, or share in forming a compound. Therfore nothing changes the electrons charge. The electrons charge will always be negative no matter what. Electrons make up the stable atoms. If it the atom gains or looses an electron it becomes either a positive (looses an electron) or negative (gains an electron) ion.
