As you move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valence electrons a. Increases b.stays the same c. Increases and then decreases d. Decreases
The number of electrons in an atom is directly proportional to the number of protons, which is clearly represented by atomic number.
If you were to notate all of the electron configurations of the atoms in the 2nd row, you would clearly see an increase in the number of valence electrons from left to right.
