helium's valency is zero as id does not combine with other elements
Helium has a valency of 0 because it has a full outer shell with 2 electrons, making it stable and unreactive.
Helium has two valence electrons.
Valency is not the no. of electrons in the outermost shell. It is the no. of electrons an atom has to lose or gain or share to achieve the electronic configuration of nearest noble gas and bcome stable. However, Helium has only K-shell which is complete. Hence it is stable and a noble gas. Therefore, its valency is zero.
Noble gases have electronegativity values of zero because they have completed the fulfillment of their orbitals and are no longer looking to bond with anymore electrons. There are exceptions with Krypton, Xenon, and Radon though.
Noble gases such as helium, neon, argon etc have completely filled valence orbitals, and hence have sable electronic configuration. They do not form bond with other elements. In other words, they are chemically inert and have zero valency.
The element with the highest valency is fluorine, which has a valency of 7. This means that fluorine can form compounds by gaining one electron to complete its outer shell and reach a stable electron configuration.
The valency of lithium is 1. It has one valence electron in its outer shell.
the valency is 4
Its valency is 0.
Helium, neon, and argon have a zero valency because they have a full outer electron shell (valence shell). This makes them stable and unreactive because they do not need to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell. Since they already have a complete set of electrons, they do not form chemical bonds easily.
Valency relates to atoms not molecules. A valency of one means that an atom can form one bond. Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, so forming one bond achieves the octet, so it is said to have has a valency of one. In Cl2 there is a single bond. Hydrogen has just one electron in its outer shell so forming a bond gives it a full shell of two like helium, it therefore has a valency of one. In H2 there is a single bond. In HCL there is a single bond. Valency is an old idea, predating Lewis diagrams, octets, and energy levels. It was the number of hydrogen atoms an elemnt could bond to.
the valency for nitrite is 5
