What do valence electrons determine in an atom?

In: Organic Chemistry, Atoms and Atomic Structure, Particle Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

They determine many things. They can be used to predice hybridization, determine octet, be used to assign formal charges. The simplest answer would be for a intro to chem class, they determine the number of electrons in the atom's "outer ring"
