Answer:
- Valency is the combining power of an atom; so, when we talk of iron having a valency of 2, it can combine either with two atoms of valency of one; or with one atom of valency of two. Oxygen has a valency of two and so the formula for iron (II) oxide is FeO.
- In the compound Fe₂O₃ the valency of Fe is 3 while the valency of O is 2. While writing the formula the valencies are exchanged for both. Therefore it is written as Fe₂O₃
