How does the number of valence electrons vary on moving from left to right :

(i) in the first period of the periodic table ?


(ii) in the second period of the periodic table

(i) In the first period of the periodic table when we move left to right the number of valence electron increases from 1 to 2.

(ii) In the second period of the periodic table when we move left to right the number of valence electron increases from 1 to 8.
