Question

What is the valency of Lead?

Answer 1

Valency:

• “Valency is the combining capacity of an atom.”
• “The electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom are known as the valence electrons.”

The valency of Lead:

• The valency of an atom refers to its ability to combine.
• The number of bonds that an atom can make as part of a compound is indicated by the element's valency.
• With an atomic number of 82, lead (Pb) is a periodic table element. The electronic configuration of lead is
• $\mathrm{Pb}=\left[\mathrm{Xe}\right]4{\mathrm{f}}^{14}5{\mathrm{d}}^{10}6{\mathrm{s}}^{2}6{\mathrm{p}}^2$
• Lead (Pb) has a value of 2,4. Lead has a +2 or +4 value.
• Lead's constant valency is +2 as a result of the inert pair effect.
