Answer:
(1) Valency of the given atom is 2.
(2) It will form an anion.
Explanation:
(1) Total number of electrons in the valence shell is 6. Since every atom wants to complete its octet by giving or taking an electron to become a stable atom. As an atom can trade only 3 electrons, therefore, it can not give its 6 valence electrons but it can accept 2 electrons to complete its octet.
Therefore, the valency of the given atom is 2.
(2) As the given atom is accepting 2 electrons, it will require two negative charges.
Therefore, it will form an anion.
