Certain elements combine with other atoms, donating, accepting or sharing electrons in different proportions depending on the nature of the reaction. For example, iron combines with oxygen to form ferrous oxide as well as ferric oxide. In the formation of ferrous oxide, iron exhibits a valency of +2, whereas in ferric oxide, it has a valency of +3. This is termed variable valency

Why do 'd' block elements exhibit variable valencies?
The "d" block elements have electrons in a "d" in a lower shell than the valence electrons in the "s" orbital. These "d" electrons can be moved to the outer shell to give a metal a higher valence then the value of 2 that might otherwise be expected. Osmium can have a valence as high as 8. Additionally, the outer shell electrons can be moved from the "s" orbital down to the "d" orbital to give a metal a lower valence, perhaps the most notable case of this is silver which almost always forms a 1+ ion rather than 2+.
What is the coordination geometry of CoCl2 6H2O?
CoCl2.6H2O has 6 water molecules attached as secondary valencies and 2 chlorine atoms are serving as the primary valencies. The secondary valencies are directional in nature and hence they lead to the geometry of it. The geometry of this compound is Octahedral with cobalt showing a coordination no. of 6.
What is uranium ions?
Uranium can form in solutions ions with valencies 3,4,5,6.
How can an element have fractional valencies or two integral valence states at a time?
An element can have fractional valencies when it forms complex ions or compounds with multiple oxidation states. This occurs when the element shares electrons unevenly or when it exhibits variable oxidation states. For an element to have two integral valence states at the same time, it would need to exist in different chemical environments simultaneously, often in the form of different compounds or complexes exhibiting different oxidation states.
What do you mean by variable valency?
Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)

What is the valency of Co?
The common valences of cobalt are +2 and +3.
Why are elements in the tall columns in the periodic table called representative elements?
Conventionally representative elements are called the chemical elements from the groups 1,2, 13-18. These elements haven't generally variable valencies. The transitions metals are not representative elements.
What are the different bivalencies of this compound and how do they affect its chemical properties?
The compound can have different valencies depending on the elements involved. Valency affects how the compound reacts with other substances. Higher valencies can lead to stronger chemical bonds and different reactivity.
