The combining capacity of an element is called itsvalency.
The number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom gives its valency. For example, the atom of oxygen has six valence electrons.
Thus, the valency of oxygenis (8 − 6) i.e., two.

What is valency ?
=> Valency is the combining capacity of an atom with another atom (s) .
This is normally given by the number of Valence electrons or by 8 minus the Valence electrons (Only when the number of Valence electrons is more than 4) .
Valency of first 20 elements is given below.
1) Hydrogen (H) = 1
2) Helium (He) = 0
3) Lithium (Li) = 1
4) Beryllium (Be) = 2
5) Boron (B) = 3
6) Carbon (C) = 4
7) Nitrogen (N) = 3
8) Oxygen (O) = 2
9) Fluorine (F) = 1
10) Neon (Ne) = 0
11) Sodium (Na) = 1
12) Magnesium (Mg) = 2
13) Aluminium (Al) = 3
14) Silicon (Si) = 4
15) Phosphorus (P) = 3, 5
16) Sulphur (S) = 2
17) Chlorine (Cl) = 1
18) Argon (Ar) = 0
19) Potassium (K) = 1
20 ) Calcium (Ca) = 2
