Solution

It does not
Atomicity Valency
1) Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in a molecule 1) Valency is the maximum number of electrons that an element can gain or loose to become stabilized
2) It is determined by calculating the number of atoms present per molecule of a substance 2) It is determined by understanding the electronic configuration of an tom
3) Compounds can be divided into several groups as monoatomic , diatomic , triatomic and polyatomic compounds 3) Elements can be named as monovalent or divalent elements etc.
4) It depends on the number of atoms present in a molecule 4) It does not depends on the number of atoms
5) It has no relations with the number of electrons in an atom 5) It has a direct relation with the number of electrons
