An element X has a valency of 4 whereas another element Y has a valency of 1. What will be the formula of the compound formed between X and Y ?

Open in App

Solution

Valency of element X = 4
Valency of element Y = 1

$\begin{matrix} Elements : & X & Y \\ Valencies : & 4 & 1 \end{matrix}$

Formula for the compound formed between X and Y can be worked out by crossing the valencies of the constituent elements.

Therefore, formula of the compound is XY₄.
