Hey dear,

● Valency -
- Valency is the combining capacity of the element.
- Valencies can be two types -
1) active
2) dormant

● Answer -
Valency of C in CO2 is +4

● Calculation -
Let x be valency of C in CO2.
x + 2(-2) = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4

Therefore, valency of C in CO2 is +4.

Hope this helped you.
