What periodicity is observed is about valency when we move left to right along a period?

Valency is the combining capacity of an element. When we move from left to right along a period, we can see that the valency increases by 1 to 4 and then decreases. If the elements react with oxygen, then the valency changes from 1 to 7. When it comes to the f block elements, they exhibit variable valency.
