Answer 1

The correct responses for valence electrons are:

- located on the outermost shell or energy level of an atom
- the electrons that participate in bonds and reactions
- the least tightly held by the atom

Therefore, the best answer is:

**located on the outermost shell or energy level of an atom**.
