carbon has 4 valency and is given no charge as said by my teacher then why is hydrogen having
+1&-1 charges, as the valency shell should have 2 or 8 electrons can anyone explain me.

hydrogen has -1&+1 charge because in fact that every atom will be neutral but i assume that your asking for hydrogen ion charge that would be +1 as it loses one electron when it bonds with, say chlorine atom for example

In simple words u can say that it has both +1 and -1 charges because it can either give one electron or it can take one electron.. As first shell has capacity of holding 2 electrons so by taking 1 it can be neutral and so by giving also... Hope u understood..
