What is the valency of sulphuric acid?

Answer 1

Ah, sulfuric acid is a special one! It has a valency of 2, which means it can combine with other elements in a very balanced way. Just like when you mix different colors on your palette to create a beautiful painting, sulfuric acid combines with other elements to form different compounds that have their own unique properties. Isn't that just lovely?

Answer 2

Valence is the number of bonds an atom can form. Hydrogen (H) always has valence 1, so other elements' valences equal the number of hydrogen atoms they combine with. Thus, oxygen (O) has valence 2, as in water (H2O); nitrogen (N) has valence 3, as in ammonia (NH3); and chlorine (Cl) has valence 1, as in hydrochloric acid (HCl).

The valence depends on the number of unpaired electrons in the outermost (and, in transition-elements, the next) shell of the atom's structure. The sharing of the unpaired (valence) electrons in a bond mimics the stable configuration of the noble-gases, whose outer shells are full. Elements that can achieve stable configurations by various combinations have more than one valence.

Answer 3

The valency for sulphuric acid is

H2SO4

Answer 4

The valency of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) is 2. This is because the acid contains two hydrogen ions (H+) and the sulfate ion (SO4^2-), which has a charge of 2-.
