You don't say that. What you do say is that the valency of sulphur in sulphur trioxide is 6.
say " well, say if you said "table" I could say it was a nice table, NICE is the adjective. " that is the simplest way I can think of, sorry.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 ft.=12 inches 6 inches =0.5 ft
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 m=100 cm 6 cm=0.06 m
CH3COOH, Acetic Acid, is made of two carbons, one hydroxide (OH), and one double bonded Oxygen. Reorganizing by atom type: C 2 O 2 H 4 So there are a total of 8 atoms in Acetic Acid. Sidenote: The COOH at the end means that that is a Carboxylic Acid group.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 ft =12 inch 5 ft=12 X 5 =60 in is less than 72 in
Things are complicated if we use the term valency. It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number. In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4 and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.
Carbon has a valency of 4, while sulfur has a valency of 6.
S = +6 valency O = -2 valency
The valency of sulfur in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is +6. This means that sulfur can form up to 6 chemical bonds with other elements.
The valency of sulfur in ammonium sulfate is 6. This is because each sulfate ion (SO4^2-) contains one sulfur atom with a valency of 6 due to its ability to form 6 covalent bonds by accepting two electrons from each of the four oxygen atoms.
Tungsten metal doesn't have any charge. In its compounds, tungsten can have different oxidation states / charges. The most common formal oxidation state of tungsten is +6, but it exhibits all oxidation states from −2 to +6.
The valency of sulfur in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is +6. Sulfur forms 4 covalent bonds (with oxygen atoms) and 2 ionic bonds (with hydrogen ions) in the compound.
Actually it is about the orbitals of valence shells of sulphur. Sulphur has atomic no. 16 and electronic configuration 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p4. Its outer most shell has s.p.d and f orbitals from which s and p have electrons and d and f are vacant. When 2 electrons from p are transferred to d, the valency becomes +2. When two more electrons from p are transfered to d, the valency becomes +4. When two left electrons from s are transferred to d, the valency becomes +6.
6. The oxidation number of sulfur is +6. Another approach if you are not familiar with oxidation number is to draw Lewis dot diagrams for sulfate ion, these will have 2 double bonds and two single bonds (single bonds attaching negative charged oxygen atoms) and will show will show 6 bonds from sulfur.
The valency of potassium dichromate is +6. This is because potassium has a valency of +1, and each chromium atom in the dichromate ion has a valency of +6.
Oxygen is divalent, but sulphur exhibits variable valency of 2, 4 and 6 because of the presence of d -orbitals in sulphur. In sulphur, the excitation of np -electrons to nd -sub-shell gives rise to increase in number of unpaired electrons. Option D is correct.
