Good Question

Valance electrons are simply the number of electrons in the outer shell of an atom. An easy way to figure this out is to look at the families (the vertical columns of the Periodic Table) and count over from left to right. The number in the ones place is the number of valance electrons that the element will have. The goal is usually to fill the number of valance electrons using the octet rule. The octet rule is filling it to its max so it becomes stable the number is usually eight. There are some exceptions such as helium which has two.
