Define valency. Write their types.

1 Answer

Answer :

Valency:- The number of electrons donated (lose) or accepted (gain) or shared by atom of an element in order to complete its octet & attain stability is called as Valency. 

Types of Valency : 1. Electro valency 2. Co valency 3. Co-ordinate valency
