    Topic 4. STIOCHIOMETRY [Formulae, Equations and Calculations] Valency or Combining Power The valency of an element is the number which shows its ability to combine with other elements. In molecules (covalent compounds) it gives the num the atoms can forin. In ionic compoun.is the val ber of covalent bonds which lency gives the charge on the ions of the element. >The valency (combining power) increases with the group till group 4, then decreases. Group number | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Valency 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 oO Valency can be used to predict the formulae of compounds. Here is a list of most of the ions that you are likely to meet and will need to know: OH™ hydroxide ion » CI> chloride ion Br~ _ bromide ion te iodide ion F fluoride ion NO,” nitrateion « H* hydrogen ion Li* lithium ion Na* — sodium ion K* potassium ion Ag* _ silver ion NH,* ammonium ion « Ca?* calcium ion Mg?* magnesium ion Ba?* — barium ion Pb?* — Jead(I) ion Cu?+ * copper(II) ion zinc ion iron(II) ion Fe?* * iron(II) ion N3- nitride ion AP* aluminium ion PO,)” phosphate ion * Valency oxide ion si sulfide lon sulfate lon AIP cn {f nN aI.

The number of positive charges Is always equal to tho number of negative charges. Knowing this, the formulae of ionic compounds can be written down. ‘aluminium oxide Examples : aie — alo, magnesium oxide mg@e® -- Mg20. Remember; i) Ni ammonium sulfate Hse —(nH,),S0, this is then waitten ——_—_+ MgO Compounds ending in ‘ide’ are made of just 2 elements only. ii) Compounds ending in ‘ate’ have a third element, ‘oxygen’.
