The valence shell is the outermost shell of the atom. For example, hydrogen (which is located on Period 1) has only one shell and it is its valence shell. Another example, bromine (which is located on Period 4) has four electron shells, and its fourth shell (counting away from the nucleus) is its valence shell containing seven electrons.
