no of electron in the outer most shell is called as valance electron.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

look at the periodic table and start counting from the end of the row and that is how many valence it has. For example, Cl is number 7 starting from Na(which is number one) and go right from there until you get to chlorine.
