Valency: It is the combining capacity of an atom of the element and for normal elements valency
is equal to number of valence electrons in an atom of the element (if number of electrons is
upto 4) and eight minus number of electrons in the valence shell of an atom (if number of
electrons is more than 4).
.Units of valency : No units (it is only a numerical value).

HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
1. Electronic configurations tells us about the arrangement of electrons in different shells ie.,
we come to know about number of shells (period number) and the valence
electron (group
number). Hence, we get to know the position.
3. As we move down a group, the atomic number increases and number of
electrons also
increases, hence to arrange the increasing number of electrons more shells are needed. Hence,
the size of atom increases.
4. In a group, the elements with similar electronic configuration i.e.,
with same valence e fall
hence one can easily judge from valence e to which group does the element belongs.
7. Group 17 of periodic table includes elements like fluorine,
chlorine, bromine etc. These
elements have their outermost orbit incomplete and are non-metallic in nature as
there are in
need of 1r.
Secondly, these elements of group 17 are salt formers ALO,,GENS
Salt formers
9. Atomic number is the most fundamental property as we come to know
about the valency of an
element from where properties can be determined:
Atomic number electronic conñguration position of element
valencv.
We also come to know whether it is a metal ora non-metal.
This is unique property of every element and does not change.
12, Nuclear charge is the positive charEe present in nucleus of an
atom which is eaual to number
of protons. So, if number of protons increases nuclear charge also
increases,
Period number determines the number ot shelus of an atom in which electrons are arranged.
Hence, period number helps to locate position.
