The electrons in an atom are organized into shells. Valence electrons are the number of electrons that make up an atom's outermost shell.
The atomic number of copper is 29.
2, 8, 18, 1 make up its electronic configuration.
The s, p, d, and f shells can also be used to express this setup.
 

It will be as follows: 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s14p0
 

Since d9 electronic configuration is less stable comparing to the d10 fully filled electronic configuration. Copper has an electronic configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s14p0.
