▪️Find the Valency of the constituent atoms of NaOH.
✏️
▪️The valency number of NaOH is 1.
▪️The term valency refers to the number of the electron which is involved in the formation of the bond between two elements.
▪️To find the valency of a compound, its constituent elements must be identified.
▪️In the case of NaOH, it is composed of ion and ion.

Find the Valency of the constituent atoms of Mg.
✏️
▪️So, say oxidation state of Mg is 'x'. so, For polyatomic substances, total O.S. of polyatomic molecule is equal to sum of O.S. of its constituent ions formed from bond fission.
▪️So, valency of Mg is +2.

Find the Valency of the constituent atoms of the following compounds.
NaOH.
To find the valency of a compound, its constituent elements must be identified.
- ⇝ In the case of NaOH, it is composed of ion and ion.
- ⇝It means that for the formation of NaOH, sodium loses one electron and combines with hydroxide ion.
- ⇝As the overall net charge of NaOH is 1,
- ⇝its valency is identified as 1
