Answers
Let us see the answers one by one :
(3) Cl means chlroine whose valency is 1- but chlorine, however exhibits variable valencies of 1,3,5,7.
(4) Ni means nickel whose valency is 2.
(5) ClO3 means chlorate whose valency is 1. Chlorate is an electronegative ion.
(6) CO3 represents ciarbonate which has a negative valency of 2, that is its valency is 2 and it is an electronegative ion.
(7) Ba means barium whose valency is 2.
(8) HCO3, is an electronegative ion which means bicarbonate (or hydrogen carbonate) whose valency is 1.
(9) NO2 means nitrite whose valency is 1. The valency is negative (1-).
(10) Na has a positive valency of 1. It is sodium.
(11) Br is bromine having a valency of 1 (negative valency).
(12) Zn is zinc whose valency is 2.
