The valency does not (or tends not to) vary going up and down a group. It varies going across a period.

How does valency of elements vary going down a group?

The valency of elements tends to remain constant or increase by one going down a group on the periodic table. This is because elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, which determines their valency. As you move down a group, the number of electron shells increases, allowing elements to either maintain their valency or increase it by gaining electrons to achieve a full outer shell.


How do find valency number?

To find the valency number of an element, look at the group number on the periodic table. For main group elements (groups 1, 2, 13-18), the valency is the same as the group number. For transition metals, the valency can vary and is usually determined by the charge of the ion formed by the element.


What are the Valency of elements hydrogen to zinc?

The valency of elements can vary depending on the conditions and compounds they are in. Generally, for hydrogen, it is +1, for elements in groups 1 and 2, it is +1 and +2 respectively, for elements in groups 13-18, it corresponds to their group number. Zinc typically has a valency of +2.


What is the valency of oxygen in suboxides?

The valency of oxygen in suboxides can vary, but it is typically less than its usual valency of 2 in oxides. Suboxides contain oxygen atoms with a valency of 1 or less, resulting in a lower overall valency for oxygen in these compounds.


What is the valency for copper?

The valency of copper can vary. Copper is a transition metal and can exhibit valencies of +1 or +2, depending on the compound it forms.


What are the valencies of phosphate?

Phosphate has a valency of -3 when it is in its ion form (PO4^3-). It can also form compounds with other elements where the valency can vary depending on the specific compound.


Valencies of all elements?

The valency of an element refers to the combining power of a given element. The valencies of all the elements is contained in the table of valencies. The valencies of the elements can be obtained by looking at the groups in the periodic table.


How does the size of elements vary down the group in the periodic table?

Atomic size increases down the group. The number of shells increases causing more atomic radius.


How does atomic radius vary down a group?

Atomic radius increases down a group on the periodic table because with each additional period an energy level is added.


How do you find the valance of an element in the periodic table?

To find the valence of an element on the periodic table, look at the group number. Elements in group 1 have 1 valence electron, group 2 have 2 valence electrons, and so on. For transition metals, the valence can vary so it's determined by the charges in their compounds.


How does valency of element with respect to hydrogen vary in a period?

in a period from left to right valency of elements with respect to hydrogen increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases upto 1 and with respect to oxygen increases from 1 to 7.


Oxidation number astatine?

Astatine has a valency of 1, because it is in group 7 and is part of the halogens. They say the group number is the number of valence, but the valency can't be 7. So they do 8 (the number of total outer shells allowed) - the group number if it's above 4. 8 - 7 = 1. And all the other halogens, in group 7 like fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine have a valence of 1. All in all, Astatine has a valency of 1.
