the electrons and the orbits they occupy. the electron "shell" interacting with the shells of other atoms dictates the laws and the exceptions, in creating the chemical bonds and properties those elements generate.

What are valence shell electrons?
Electrons in the outermost orbitals of an atom. They determine the chemical reactivity of an atom and are the primary electrons that participate in chemical reactions.
