Answer:
Valency of SO4 is 2
Explanation:
SO4 is an anion derived from an H2SO4 acid in which hydrogen valency is 1. As hydrogen is more electropositive than SO4, +1 will be its oxidation number. So we can calculate the Oxidation number of SO4 by using this information.
Let us consider x be SO4‘s oxidation number. Since the sum of oxidation numbers is zero, it is equated with zero
H2SO4
⇒ 2 × 1 + 1 × SO4
⇒ 2 + 1 × x
x = -2
∴ valency of SO4 is 2.
