'Valency' is also the number of electrons - donated or accepted by an atom so as to achieve stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas'. With reference to this definition -
(a) State what is meant by 'stable electronic configuration'.
(b) State why the valency of -
(i) sodium, magnesium & aluminium is: +1, +2 & +3 respectively.
(ii) chlorine, oxygen & nitrogen is: -1, -2 & -3 respectively.
With reference to formation of compounds from atoms by electron transfer - electrovalency, state the basic steps in the conversion of sodium & chlorine atoms to sodium & chloride ions leading to the formation of the compound - sodium chloride.
