Do you mean the valence shell?
The outer shell of an atom is its valence shell. The electron configuration of this shell determines the behavior of the atom.

In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule or other body. Specifically, it is the placement of electrons into atomic, molecular, or other forms of electron orbitals. The electrons occupy specific probability regions, whose shapes and electron capacity are denoted by the letters s,p,d,f and the as of yet unseen g,h, and i. The energy of an orbital is shown by a whole number (1-7) next to the letter, electrons are able to jump from one energy level (orbital filling laws allowing) to another by emission of a quantum of energy, in the form of a photon. The website below list electron configuration in great details:

You should make your questions more specific.
Just look at a periodic table, a lot of them list the abbreviated electron configurations underneath the atomic mass.

electron - neg charge. proton- pos charge. neutron- no charge.
is that what you mean?
