Valence electrons determine an atoms?

Answer:

valence electron does not determine an atom but it only determine the eagerness of the element either to receive or to gain more electrons,for the one of an atom e.g oxygen gas can be turned into an atom by undergoing chemical or physical reaction to became an atom.
