I've never learned this before, but I suggest you check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valence_electron

It says in paragraph 3:
"Like an electron in an inner shell, a valence electron has the ability to absorb or release energy in the form of a photon. An energy gain can trigger an electron to move (jump) to an outer shell; this is known as atomic excitation. Or the electron can even break free from its associated atom's valence shell; this is ionization to form a positive ion. When an electron loses energy (thereby causing a photon to be emitted), then it can move to an inner shell which is not fully occupied."

And in the "Electrical Conductivity" in paragraphs 2 and 4 it says a bit.
