PO4^-3 is an ion.So its valency is -3
by knowing the no. of electorns in its outermost shell
By the formula 2n2 , we can find no of electrons in shells like, if atomic no. of X is 17 so the electronic configuration is 2,8,7. so the valency is 1 in order to complete its octave.
+4 valency
Group number 1 = Valency 1+group number 2 = valency 2+group number 3 = valency 3+group number 4 = valency 4+ and 4- (some cases) group number 5 = valency 3-group number 6 = valency 2-group number 7 = valency 1-group number 8 = valency 0For the transition elements they will either state Copper (III) Sulphate or it will be like Cu2(SO4)3You can find the valency by the base of sulphate and you know its positive because metals are always positive and are written in the left.Source: I am a GCE O Level Sciences Student (O2)
the group number represents the valency of the elements.
PO4 has its valency 3 but, PO3 also has its valency 3
Manganese is a transition element and has a variable valency but generally has a valency of 2 and exists as Mn2+
it is the stupidest compound whos valency is really difficult to find
Mercury
valency
The valency of an element measures its ability to combine with other elements. This valency is determined by the number of electrons in the outer shell of each atom of an element.
The number of electrons in the outermost energy shell is usually used in finding the valency of a given element. For instance elements that have two electrons in the outermost energy shell have valency 2.
by knowing the no. of electorns in its outermost shell
valency of lithium - 1
valency of Rf =4 valency of Db=5 valency of Sg=6 valency of Bh=7 valency of Hs=8 valency of Mt=unknown
-1 valency
Valency is calculated in this way... 1. Find atm no of that element. 2. Write down electronic configuration. 3. Take the valence shell electron number. 4. The number of electrons to be lost are added as the valency.
