Abigayle Rogers · Answer 1

Providing energy to an atom can allow the electron in its non valence shell to obtain energy and move to a higher energy orbital and act as a valance electron.

Jon Blankenship · Answer 2

Energy would be needed to cause an electron to be a valence electron.

Mass cannot be created nor destroyed as the law of conservation of mass states.
