When the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of the element is 4 or less than 4, then the valence of that element is equal to the number of electrons in that outermost shell. When the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom of the element is greater than 4, the valence of the element becomes 8 minus the number of electrons in that outermost shell.
