Where are valence electrons found?

Where are valence electrons found? Correct Answer Outermost shell/orbital

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.
