Yes, it is. Since valency is the no. of electrons an element should gain or loose or share to become stable. So, this is true in case of substances which form ions. But elements like carbon never form ions. Its valency is four. It shares electrons to get stable.

What is the Difference between valency and oxidation state?
Valency is the number of electrons in the valence shell. Oxidation state is the formal charge on an atom/ion.
What type of charge does a zinc atom have?
The ionic charge of zinc is 2+
What is the ionic charge of V?
The ionic charge of neutral vanadium atom is zero and it could have oxidation numbers up to +V.
What characterizes an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is created when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom that accepts the electron(s). This creates a positive charge on the first atom and a negative charge on the second atom, which then electrically attract each other.
What is charge of an atom?
Normally, atoms do not have a charge, but if they are ionic, they have either a positive or negative charge, normally with the addition or loss of electrons.
What is the atom that no longer has a neutural charge?
Ionic
What is the Difference between valency and oxidation state?
Valency is the number of electrons in the valence shell. Oxidation state is the formal charge on an atom/ion.
What is the ionic charge for C-12?
The ionic charge of an atom or ion can not be determined from the mass number and atomic number alone, because the ionic charge if any depends on the surplus or deficiency of electrons compared to protons in the atom or ion. Ordinarily, the symbol C-12, with no further modification, indicates a neutral atom, which would have zero ionic charge.
What type of charge does a zinc atom have?
The ionic charge of zinc is 2+
What is the ionic charge of V?
The ionic charge of neutral vanadium atom is zero and it could have oxidation numbers up to +V.
How do you get the ionic charge?
By the complete transfer of electrons from atom to another.
When there is an equal number of electrons and protons in an atom what is the charge?
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.
What subatomic particle is responsible for whether or not an atom will be an ion?
Ionic charge is determined by the number of electrons in the atom. A neutral atom has the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. An ion is formed when there is a surplus or deficit in electrons
What will be the charge of an atom be if it has an equal number of positive and negative charges?
Neutral - the atom will have no charge.
What charge does the atom have when a metal and a nonmetal meet?
it forms an ionic compound
What ionic charge does a regular atom of chlorine have?
None. Atoms are uncharged.
What ionic charge does a regular atom of sulfur have?
None. Atoms are uncharged.
