In chemistry, the valence or valency of an element is a measure of its combining power with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules. SO4 is a radical with charge of -2. Therefore 2 sodium (Na) atoms combine with SO4 radical to make compund Na2SO4. Hende the valancy of each sodium (Na) atom is 1 and of sulphate ion is 2.

Hope it helps..
