Variable Valency Examples
For example, copper, tin, iron and mercury exhibit variable valency. Copper combines with oxygen to form cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and cupric oxide (CuO). Valency of oxygen being two, combining capacity of copper in the first case is one and that in the second case is two.

Answer:
Metals donate electrons from their valence shell so as to form positively charged ions such that the charge on the ion is equal to its electropositive valency. In such a situation the element exhibits more than one valency (variable valency).
Example:
H →1; Mg→2; Al→3; C→4; N→3, and 5; P→3 and 5; O→2; S→ 2, 4 and 6; Cl→ 1; and Ne→0
