Question

What is thevalency of sulphur chlorine iargonand potassium?

Answer 1

hii dear

here ur amswer!!

><▪▪Valency of an atom is the number of electrons gained, lost or shared so as to complete the octet of electrons in the valence shell.


><Valency of chloride: It has electronic configuration = 2, 8, 7

><Thus, one electron is gained to complete its octet and so its valency is 1.

><Valency of sulphur: Its has electronic configuration = 2, 8, 6

><Thus, 2 electrons are gained to complete its

octet and hence its valency = 2

><Valency of magnesium : It has electronic configuration = 2, 8, 2

><Thus, it can lose two electrons to attain octet and hence its valency = 2
