An atom with 3 protons and 4 neutrons will have a valency of
(a) 3
(b) 7
(c) 1
(d) 4
Answer: C
Electronic configuration of this element will be 2, 1 (Atomic number ) Since number of electrons in the outermost shell is 1, hence the valency of the atom will be 1.
Given that, number of protons in an atom = 3 and number of neutrons = 4
Electronic configuration of
