Valency, or the combining capacity of an element, can change across a period due to variations in the number of valence electrons. As you move from left to right across a period in the Periodic Table, elements typically gain more valence electrons, transitioning from metals to non-metals. This change influences their ability to form bonds, with metals often having low valency and non-metals having higher valency. Consequently, the types of chemical bonds and compounds that elements can form also vary across the period.
What else can I help you with?
How does the valency vary on moving down the group?
The valency does not (or tends not to) vary going up and down a group. It varies going across a period.
What common feature is shared by the sodium and chloride ions?
Their valency is one. They both belongs to the third period.
How does the numbers of electrons change across a period of elements?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
How does the metallic nature and the nonmetallic nature of elements in period 3 change from left to right?
Metallic character decreases as you go across any single period of the Periodic Table. This is because metals are characterized by their ability to lose electrons to form cations; the easier it is to do so, the more reactive a metal is. Non-metals are characterized by their ability to gain electrons to form anions; the easier to do so, the more reactive a non-metal is. As you go across any single period, elements gain an extra valency electron. This makes it harder and harder for those elements to lose their valency electrons, thus becoming more and more non-metallic.
How does the number of valence electrons for element change across a period?

How does valency of element with respect to hydrogen vary in a period?
in a period from left to right valency of elements with respect to hydrogen increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases upto 1 and with respect to oxygen increases from 1 to 7.
What do the atoms in elements in period 3 have in common?
Three electrons in their valency orbit.
How does the atomic number change in a period?
When going left to right across a period, the atomic number of element increases.
How does electronegativity change across the period?
Electronegativity tends to increase across a period from left to right. This is because as you move across a period, the nuclear charge increases and the atomic radius decreases, leading to a stronger attraction for electrons by the nucleus.
How does the numbers of electrons change across a period of elements?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
What is mean by valency?
Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)

Does the valency of hydrogen change?
Possible valencies: +1, 0, -1.
How does the number of valence electrons for element change across a period?
The number of valence electrons for the elements increases across a period, from 1 (group 1) to 8 (group 18).
What happens to the properties of elements across any periodic of the table?
Across any period, the properties of elements gradually change. This gradual change is called a periodic trend.
