How is the valence of atoms determined?
The valence of an atom is determined by the number of electrons in its outermost shell. This is also known as the valence shell. For example, the valence electron of chlorine is located in the third shell and has 7 electrons, while the valence electron of oxygen is located in the second shell and has 6 electrons.
