Question

State whether True or False (T/F).

Valency can be expressed in fractions.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The combining capacity of an element is known as its Valency.
• Valency represents the number of electrons gained, lost, or shared by an element in a chemical bond formation.
• Due to the presence of more than one electron in the valence shell, some elements show variable valencies.
• But for an element Valency cannot be in fraction. It is always a whole number.
