How to calculate the valency of a compound ?? |
|
Answer» For atoms , valency is the number of ELECTRONS gained , lost or shared by an atom to complete its octet ( BASICALLY, to ACHIEVE its noble gas configuration). If the number of electrons in the outermost SHELL is less than 4 , then the valency is the same as the number of electrons in the outermost shell. |
