Answer :-
- (i) The number of valence electrons increases by one as we move from left to right in a period. The group number 1 and 2 have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively while group 13 to 18 have group number minus 10 = valence electrons. So, group 13 to 18 have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 valence electrons respectively.
- (ii) Valency is determined by the number of valence electrons. For elements belonging to group 1, 2 and 13, the valency is equal to the number of valence electrons, so their valency is 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Since the elements in group 14 to 17 needs to gain electrons to complete their octet configuration. Their valency is 8 minus the number of valence electrons. So their valencies are 4, 3, 2 and 1 respectively.
