Question
How does number of valence electrons vary on moving from left to right in the third period of a periodic table?
Advertisements
Solution
Valence electrons in the same shell (outermost shell) increase progressively by one across the period. The first element of sodium has one valence electron and magnesium has two valence electrons.
