Answer:
The combining capacity of an atom is known as its valency. The number of bonds that an atom can form as part of a compound is expressed by the valency of the element. We all know how electrons in an atom are arranged in shells/orbitals.

Valency=Valency is the measure of the combining capacity of atoms or molecules. Therefore, it is the capacity of an atom of a single element to react and combine with particular numbers of atoms of another element.
Ion=An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule
