An element's valence, also known as Valency, is a measure of its ability to combine with other atoms to create chemical compounds or molecules.
Explanation:
The valency of:
- Phosphorus: Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15. It has a 2,8,5 electrical arrangement. As a result, it requires three electrons to complete its outermost shell and achieve stability. As a result, its valency is 3.
- Chlorine: Because it has seven valence electrons, chlorine belongs to group 17. It has a valency of one.
- Silicon: Silicon's valence shell has four outermost electrons, which is less than eight. As a result, silicon atoms have a valency of four.
- Argon: The valency of Argon is eighteen.
