A trend common to both group I and VII elements in the periodic table as atomic number increase is
In both I and VII group of the periodic table the following property increases with increase in atomic number
(i) Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period (ii) Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period (iii) Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right) (iv) Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period. On the basis of the above trends of the Periodic Table, answer the following about the elements with atomic numbers 3 to 9. Name the element which shows maximum valency.
