Elements with a valency equal to 3 are called ___________
Valency:
Therefore, elements with a valency equal to 3 are called trivalent.
Element X is a metal with a valency 2. Element Y is a non-metal with a valency 3. (a) Write equations to show how X and Y form ions. (b) If Y is a diatomic gas, write the equation for the direct combination of X and Y to form a compound.
b) Elements X is metal with a valency 2, Y is a non-metal with a valency 3.
Element X is a metal with a valency 2.
Element Y is a non-metal with valency 3.
Write an equation to show how X and Y form ions.
