Answer 2

Valency and Charge of ion is Equal

Explanation:

• The valency of an ion is equivalent to the charge on the ion.

• Monovalent ion,  an ion having one unit charge then it's valency is 1. Examples- hydrogen ion, ammonium ion, potassium ion, fluoride ion, chloride ion, etc

• Divalent ion, an ion having 2 unit charges then its valency is two. Examples- calcium ion, zinc ion, carbonate ion, sulphide ion.

• Trivalent ion, an ion having three unit charges then it's valency is three. Examples-Phosphide ion, phosphate ion, nitride ion, aluminium ion, etc
