It is called the 'principal quantum number' and it is represented by n.

In atomic physics, an electron shell, also known as a main energy level, is a group of atomic orbitals with the same value of the principal quantum number n.
The principal quantum number is the first quantum number of an atomic orbital.

I don't know if you perhaps mean electron configuration. If so, they occupy main energy levels, sub levels (labelled s, p, d and f) orbitals and spins. See link: -

the valence elctions are the outermost electrons and therefore when u do a reaction or equation u only look at the valence electrons. They are the most significant. ( Lewis dot diagrams, etc.)
