TermDefinition
SymbolSymbol is the shorthand abbreviation of the full name of an element.
ValencyValency is the number of hydrogen atoms or the number of chlorine atoms or double the number of oxygen atoms with which one atom of that element combines. OR, The number of electrons lost, gained or shared with one atom of the element in order to acquire the stable configuration of the nearest inert gas element.
