The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the Periodic Table.

well I am a teacher and I say that it is elements and compounds
What is the electrons in the outer most shell determines bonding?
The electrons in the outermost shell, also known as the valence electrons, determine how an atom will bond with other atoms. Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, typically with 8 electrons (the octet rule). This determines the type of bonding an atom will form - either ionic or covalent.
What energy is needed to remove an electron from its outer most shell?
This is called the ionization energy and an is different for each electron in the atom. Electrons in the outer shell (furthest from the nucleus) have the lowest ionization energy, electrons in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) have the highest ionization energy.
What type of electrons are used in bonding?
All electrons are the same, they only differ in spin. The electrons in the outermost energy shell are generally those involved in the formation of chemical bonds particularly when the innermost shells have the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. There are many exceptions . For instance in copper(II) compounds both the outer 5s electron and a 4d electron are involved. The ionisation potential of each successive electron can give a guide as to whether it takes part in bonding or is too tightly held.
What type of shell is the outermost energy shell of an atoms?
Valence

When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell it forms an?
When one atom shares an electron with another atom to fill the outermost shell, it forms a covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when both atoms share the pair of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Which electron shell determines the chemical properties of an atom?
"Activity" as used in the question has no precise meaning, but I take it to mean reactivity. In VERY simple terms - Electrons can only have precise energies, those energies correspond to certain distances (orbitals or shells), from the nucleus. More than that, electrons are paired in each orbital so far as is possible. Both the energy of the electrons and whether they are paired determine how likely any atom is to form any particular type of bond, and also how many bonds, as bonding involves the gaining, loosing or sharing of electrons from the outer-most shell.
Which element has ns2np5 type electronic configuration in its outermost shell?

What type of energy is stored in the nucleus of the atom?

What role do valence electrons play in formation of bonds?
Valence electrons are electrons on the outermost "level". And depending on its electron configuration, it plays a role in which if the atom requires to gain or lose electrons in order to become "stable", it can accept or give electrons to another atom in a chemical reaction.
