Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

So, when we move across a period from left to right then there will be increase in number of valence electrons.

For example, valence electrons in carbon is 4, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that number of valence electrons increases for elements change across a period.

is there a difference between a homogenouos mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, and a sample of vapor? explain?
marin [14]
Yes. In a homogeneous mixture the hydrogen and oxygen are not chemically combined; in water vapor, they are. You can separate a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen by physical means, such as by cooling the mixture until the oxygen liquefies. If you cool water vapor you're just going to get liquid water and then ice - not two separate substances. That's because compounds can only be separated into their elements by chemical means.

Which statement best describes the effect of low ionization energies and low electronegativities on metallic bonding?
kramer
The statement that best describes the effect of low ionization energies and low electronegativities on metallic bonding is the first one - the valence electrons are easily delocalized. 
Due to these low energies and negativities, valence electrons can be moved around quite easily and their positions may be altered quite drastically.
