what pattern do you notice in valence electron configuration as you move from elements 3-18?
Added by Tina B.
Step 1
Elements 3-10: These elements belong to the second period of the periodic table. They are filling up the 2s and 2p orbitals. The number of valence electrons increases from 1 to 8 as you move from left to right. Show more…
