All elements in period 3 have valence electrons in the same valence shell.

  • Elements are arranged in the periodic table in rows and periods. In a row, elements exhibit same properties but in a period, the properties change as you move across the period.

  • The elements in Period 3 have the same valence shell but with valence electrons of different number.

  • Now, In  period 3, starting with Na,Sodium, we will see that it has 3 shells, with one valence electron in its valence shell, the next element  is Magnesium also having 3 shells but with in 2 electrons its valence shell.

  • The number of valence electrons increases in the valence shell in Period 3  till we get to Argon where we experience an octet configuration.

  • Therefore we can conclude that elements in Period 3 have valence electrons in the same valence shell.
