The 'valency' of a cation describes the free orbitals it has to accept lewis electrons. For example, potassium is monovalent (or univalent), and only has one empty orbital to accept electrons, whereas calcium is divalent, and has two empty orbitals, (and a 2+ charge) to accept donor electrons for lewis bonding.

Does silver form a positive or negative ion?
Silver for in solution a cation (positive ion, Ag+).A strange compound is AgF3 where silver is trivalent.
What is ammonium?
Ammonium is the univalent NH4+ cation derived by the protonation of ammonia.
What is a univalent radical?
A univalent radical is an atom, molecule or ion that has only one open electron available for bonding, or one valence. Hence, univalent radical.
Why are group 1 elements univalent?
univalent metals, which form colourless ionic compounds
What is trivalent?
those atoms have 3 valency is called trivalent.
What is an trivalent?

What does monovalent ion mean?
A monovalent ion is a cation that only has one valence electron to form an ionic bond with something else. Typically they are the alkali metals--Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium. Some transition metals can be found to be monovalent ions.
What elements are trivalent?
A trivalent element is one that can form up to three bonds to other elements. Nitrogen is the most common trivalent non-metal and aluminum is the most common trivalent metal.
What has the author O Tammi written?

Tammi has written: 'On Green's inequalities for the third coefficient of bounded univalent functions' -- subject(s): Analytic functions, Univalent functions, Inequalities (Mathematics) 'Extremeum Problems for Bounded Univalent Functions II' 'On the analytic foundations of central projection I' -- subject(s): Projection 'Extremum Problems for Bounded Univalent'
Why trivalent impurity is used?
Trivalent impurity is used to create a free electron when bonded with a silicon crystal.
