Question

If an element belongs to group 14 in the periodfc table, what will be its valency ? Answer
with reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

This can be explaine as follows: The elements of group 14 of periodic table have 14-10=14 valence electrons each in theri atoms. An atom of his element can share its 4 valence electrons with 4 more electrons to achieve the nearest inert gas electron configuration and hence shows a valency of 4.
