Things are complicated if we use the term valency.
It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number.
In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4
and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.

What is no2 so2 and so3?
SO3 = sulphur dioxide O2= oxygen SO3 = sulphur trioxide SO3- = sulphite that should be it .... right? :)
What is the valency of sulphur in ammonium sulphate?
The valency of sulfur is 2.
What is the chemical formula for Tri sulfur Pent oxide?
SO3 Tetra means four, genius. SO3 is Sulphur Trioxide. Sulphur Tetroxide exists as an anion [SO4]2- More commonly referred to as a sulphate. Sulphur Tetroxide is not sulphate, sulphate is an ion while Sulphur Tetroxide is not just like sulphur trioxide (SO3) is a neutral molecule whereas sulphite (SO3)2- is an ion...... so yes, sulfur tetraoxide is SO4, nothing more nothing less
How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
What is the name of the compound SO3?
Sulfur tetraoxide 2- SO4 is sulfate
How do you say that valency of sulphur trioxide is 6?
You don't say that. What you do say is that the valency of sulphur in sulphur trioxide is 6.
What is no2 so2 and so3?
SO3 = sulphur dioxide O2= oxygen SO3 = sulphur trioxide SO3- = sulphite that should be it .... right? :)
What is the valency of sulphur in ammonium sulphate?
