valence shell

Let us learn about valence shell

The copper atom has only 1 electron. This represents that the copper atom has 1 electron that is near the outer portion of the atom. The outer shell of any atom is said to be as valence shell.

Valance shell electronic configuration which is the representation of the participation of electrons in orbits of atom.

The outermost shell of an atom is the valence shell that contains the electrons most likely to account for the nature of any reactions involving the atom & of the bonding interactions Valance shell has with other atoms. Electrons in the valence shell are termed as valence electrons
