Valency, also known as combining power, is the measure of the number of atoms of hydrogen or any other monovalent element with which an atom of the element combines, or for which it can be substituted or with which it can be compared.

Valency, also known as combining power, is the measure of the number of atoms of hydrogen or any other monovalent element with which an atom of the element combines, or for which it can be substituted or with which it can be compared.
Valency in chemistry refers to the combining capacity of an element, determined by its ability to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. It influences how elements bond with each other to form compounds and is crucial in predicting chemical reactivity and compound formation.
