The term "valence" or "valency" is used in chemistry to describe the potential an element or molecule has to bond. Similar to oxidation number and formal charge of an ion, the valency of an atom or molecule can be described as how many hydrogen atoms it can bond with. Radicals are similar to polyatomic ions, only without a formal charge. They are groups of atoms that can readily react with other elements and compounds.
