Zinc has a valency of 2. It is represented by the symbol Zn.
Magnesium, Iron, and Zinc
A hydrogen carbonate ion has the formula HCO3- so the valency of a hydrogen carbonate ion is -1.
Zn (zinc) is an element. H (hydrogen) is an element. Cl (chlorine) is an element. H2 (hydrogen gas) is NOT an element.
I'm betting on hydrogen phosphide (hydrogen which has a valency 1 combines with phosphide which has a valency 3)
hydrogen silver gold
The valency of hydrogen in one.
Zinc has a valency of 2. It is represented by the symbol Zn.
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.
The valency of hydrogen is +1 because it has a tendency to lose an electron while combining with an Elelment. This gives it a positive valency.

All 2A elements show the valency of two.
Zn (zinc) is an element. H (hydrogen) is an element. Cl (chlorine) is an element. H2 (hydrogen gas) is NOT an element.
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
the smallest element is hydrogen of which its valency is one.
