Please explain to me the reason why valency across a period first increases and then decreases
Asked by joshiraghavendra53 | 27 Feb, 2015, 01:40: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

As we move from left to right in a period, the number of valence electrons in electrons increases from 1 to 8. The elements in a period have consecutive atomic numbers.

Valency is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an orbital.

On moving from left to right in each period, the valency increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases to zero.
