The Valence is the electron in the outermost shell of an atom. The number of electrons in this outermost shell represents the maximum possible valence for many elements and matches the number of the group that the element occupies in the periodic table of the elements.It is the valence electrons that are involved in the formation of ionic and covalent bonds (see molecule).
If you want a break from looking at that stuff, check this link out. It is some really cool info for those interested in science.
