The correct option is A Neon < Hydrogen < Magnesium
Valency is the combining capacity of an element. It is determined by the number of valence electrons.
If number of valence electrons are four or less than four, then valency = number of valence electrons
If number of valence electrons are greater than four, then valency = 8 - number of valence electrons ElementAtomic numberElectronic configurationValencyNeon102, 80Hydrogen111Magnesium122, 8, 22 Hence, the increasing order of valency is: Neon < Hydrogen < Magnesium
