the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the Periodic Table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.
