Predict the maximum number of valence electrons possible for atoms in the first period of the periodic table.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The first period of the periodic table has only two elements - hydrogen and helium-with atomic numbers 1 and 2. Hence, the atoms of elements in the first period of the periodic table can have a maximum of 2 valence electrons.
