Usually the valence shell - but that can be the S-orbital too.

What is the valence electron from hydrogen?
Hydrogen is usually 1 valance in a resting state but can be raised in number of valances with loading as in heavy water or tritium, helium are higher valances.
How does the energy of core electron compare with the energy of valence electron?
valence electrons are bound to atoms and are used to bind atoms into molecules. free electron are free, either they are in the conduction band "electron gas" of a metal or they are in a vacuum (perhaps in a vacuum tube).
What do you call an atom if you move an electron in an atom from a low energy level to a higher energy level within the atom?
no , it only emits energy if it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
Does each Transition Metal on the Periodic Table only have 2 valence electrons according to the electron configuration with subshells?
Because valence electron are always in the outer most layer (here the N number). You would think that the valence would come from the D orbital but if you look attentively, there will always be a S orbital with a higher N number. Example: Sc 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d1 The valence electron will always come from the 4s2 subshell, and as you go along the period, the electrons are going to add up only in the 3d orbital.
Why are the metallic bonds in an allkalli metal relatively weak?
Alakali metals, group1, lithium sodium potassium etc, only have one valence electron- the electron cloud in metals is made up principlayy of s and p electrons, the group 2 metals are higher melting, and harfder because they have two valence electrons per atom
How does energy of core electrons compare with the energy of valence electron?
The energy is higher.
How does the energy of core electron compare with the energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
Why does bromine have higher ionization energy then lead?
Bromine has less valence shells than lead making the distance between its valence electron and its nucleus less than that of lead. This means that there is greater attraction between the nucleus and electron for bromine and it requires a higher ionisation energy to remove its electron.
What is an electron in the outermost energy level of an atom?
An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom is called a valence electron.(We refer here to the outermost occupied levels of an atom. There are, of course, many other higher energy levels normally available that are not occupied.)These electrons determine the chemical reactivity of the atom.the valence electrons

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
The question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?This question may seem hard and/or confusing, but it's really not. You just have to think about it for a minute. This question was in my science quiz online. I had to take LOTS of notes, and guess what?, the answer was right there in my notes..The notes that I took for this question had the topic:Electrons in an ElementMy notes were:-Electrons occupy the electron cloud.-Each electron occupies an energy state.-Electrons farther from the nucleus occupy a higher energy state.-The electron cloud is divided into energy levels.-Each energy level can hold a certain number of electrons-Valence Electrons are usually found in the highest energy level.Not very much notes, but lots of information, and most of them are about energy, and one is about Valence electrons. So, let's figure this.If a valence electron usually have the highest energy level, then a nonvalence electron must not have any energy levels. So, what you would have to add to the nonvalence electron is add energy to become a valence electron.Our question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?So the answer to our question is: Energy. Energy can be added.

Why does aluminum have a higher melting temperature than sodium?
This is a difficult question to answer- one factor is that sodium has only one valence electron and aluminum has three so the bonding is stronger.
