What else can I help you with?
What is the valency of the smallest element?
the smallest element is hydrogen of which its valency is one.
Why some elements in the periodic table have more than one valency?
because the valency is no of electrons present in last shell and different element have different electronic configuration.
What is the valency of ammonia?
the valency for ammonium is +1. the way i remember this is the elements made up of more than one element, is always either +1 or -1 depending on whether the element is matal or non-metal..hope this helps!! =]=]=]
Having more than one possible ionic charge?
Elements that can have more than one possible ionic charge are called elements with variable valency. This can occur when an element has multiple oxidation states, leading to the formation of ions with different charges in chemical reactions. Transition metals are common examples of elements with variable valency.
What would naturally form a cation?
The loss of one or more electrons causes the formation of a cation, or positive ion.
What element contains more than one element and has metallic properties?
No element contains more than one element.
What is the highest valency element?
The highest valency element is oxygen, with a valency of 2. The valency of an element represents the number of bonds it can form with other elements. Oxygen typically forms bonds by gaining two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What planets have more than one element?
Many of the planets have more than one element. Two of these planets that have more than one element are Earth and Jupiter.
Radical - positive and negative radical in chemistry?
Valency is the number of hydrogen atoms that can combine with [or displace] one atom of the element [or radical] to form a compound. For example, one atom of hydrogen combines with one atom of chlorine to form hydrogen chloride [HCl]; so, the valency of chlorine [chloride] is one. Similarly, the valency of the nitrate radical [NO3] in the compound nitric acid [HNO3] is 1, and the valency of the sulfate radical in the compound sulfuric acid [H2SO4] is 2. For elements that do not combine with hydrogen, the valency is the combining power of the element with another element whose valency is known. Valency may also be defined as the number of electrons that an atom donates or accepts to form the duplet state (i.e., 2 electrons in outermost shell) or octet state (i.e., 8 electrons in outermost shell). The valency of an element [or radical] is always a whole number. Elements [or radicals] with valency one are monovalent, those with valency two are divalent, and those with valency three are trivalent
When do you use roman numerals in an element?
we usually use roman numerals in writing names of compounds of transitional elements which have more than one valency . for example we have two compounds of iron chloride , iron(II)chloride and iron(III)chloride depending on the valency of iron in each compound.
What happens in an oxidants?
an element loses one or more electrons , addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen is termed as oxidation. increase in valency is termed as oxidation.
What is the valency of halogens and what does it mean?
The valency of halogens is 1, meaning they can form one bond with another element. This valency indicates how many electrons halogens need to gain in order to achieve a full outer shell and become stable.
