Question

The valency of an ion is equal to its ________.

Answer 1

Ions:

1. The charged species are called ions. An ion may be either positively charged or negatively charged.
2. The charge present on the ion is equal to the valency of that ion.
3. For example, if the ion has a $+1$ charge, its valency is$1$. If the charge present on the ion is$+2$, then the valency is $2$.

Hence, the valency of an ion is equal to its charge.
