Question

In the Periodic Table (omitting the transition elements), thetrend with the respect to numbers of valence electrons is (a) periodic with respect to atomic number, but generallyincreasing from right to left. (b) lower on the left and higher on the right (c) periodic with respect to atomic number, but generallydecreasing from left to right. (d) higher on the left and lower on the right. In the Periodic Table (omitting the transition elements), thetrend with the respect to numbers of valence electrons is (a) periodic with respect to atomic number, but generallyincreasing from right to left. (b) lower on the left and higher on the right (c) periodic with respect to atomic number, but generallydecreasing from left to right. (d) higher on the left and lower on the right.

Explanation / Answer

(a) The number of valence electrons increases from left toright. So this statement is false

(b) The number of valence electrons is lower on the left andhigher on the right. This is true.
