Question

What do we understand by charges of elements ? Is it same as valency

Answer 1

Answer:

The charge of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of electrons. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element given in the periodic table. The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number minus the charge of the atom.

note= Valency is the combining power of an element, especially as measured by the number of hydrogen atoms it can displace or combine with. On the other hand, a charge of an atom is the number of protons minus the number of electrons in an atom.
