Understand that valence electrons are the electrons located in the outermost shell of an atom.
Recognize that these electrons are the ones involved in chemical reactions because they can be gained, lost, or shared to form chemical bonds.
Know that the number and arrangement of valence electrons determine an element's chemical properties and how it interacts with other elements.
Note that valence electrons do not control atomic mass, which depends on protons and neutrons, nor are they responsible for color or exclusive to noble gases.
Conclude that valence electrons are important because they determine how an element reacts and bonds with other elements.
