The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
The valency of sulfur is 2.
magnesium has a valency of 2
Na2co3
H2so4-
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
The valency of sulfur is 2.
The sulfate anion has a valency of 2-, i.e. it is SO4^2-
magnesium has a valency of 2
-2
Type your answer here... 2
Na2co3
H2so4-
Copper(II) sulphate is written like this because here II denotes the oxidation state of copper or in simple language, it denotes its valency.Copper sometimes shows +1 valency and sometimes +2.So to specify, its valency in a compound, the valency is written in brackets.
Valency of k=1+ valency so4=2- after crisscrossing the valencies, we get- chemical formula- k2so4
Copper II sulphate has variable valency properties, which translates to variable charges.
Group number 1 = Valency 1+group number 2 = valency 2+group number 3 = valency 3+group number 4 = valency 4+ and 4- (some cases) group number 5 = valency 3-group number 6 = valency 2-group number 7 = valency 1-group number 8 = valency 0For the transition elements they will either state Copper (III) Sulphate or it will be like Cu2(SO4)3You can find the valency by the base of sulphate and you know its positive because metals are always positive and are written in the left.Source: I am a GCE O Level Sciences Student (O2)
