SO4 has a valency of 2 .
WAY OF FIND THE VALENCY :-
Sulphur has 6 electrons in its Valence shell& oxygen has a oxidation no. -2 so when 4 oxygens combine with 1 Sulphur , the octet of the Sulphur is extended by by 2 more electrons(Sulphur has 6 electrons & 4Oxygens gives it 8 electrons i.e., 2 more electrons) which gives SO4 a oxidation no. Of -2 & valency 2.
