The valency of Nitrogen in the following is?
NO, NO2,N2O3
valency of NO
Valency of Oxygen is 2 and Number of atoms in Oxygen is 2
∴ x + 1*(-2) = 0
x=2
valency of NO =2
.
Let x be the valency of Nitrogen.NO2
∵ Valency of Oxygen is 2 and Number of atoms in Oxygen is 2
∴ x + 2*(-2) = 0
∴ x = 4
valency of Nitrogen.NO2 =4
N2O3
Let x be the valency of Nitrogen.
∵ Valency of Oxygen is 2 and Number of atoms in Oxygen is 2
∴2 x + 3*(-2) = 0
∴ x = 6/2=3
valency of N2O3 is 3
