Statement (A) : The electrons present in outermost shell are called valence electrons. Statement (B) : Generally, the electrons of inner shell do not participate in chemical bonding. Statement (C) : The valence electrons are represented by Lewis dot symbols.

The valency electrons are far away from the nucleus.

The electrons present in the inner shells are close to the nucleus, so they do not participate in the chemical bonding.

Only valency electrons participate in the chemical bonding to attain stability. Valency electrons are represented by Lewis dot symbols.
