An atom with 3 protons and 4 neutrons will have a valency of 1.
The ability of an element to combine with other atoms to form chemical compounds or molecules is measured by the element's valency.
Atomic number = Number of protons = 3.
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons =3 + 4 = 7.
The electronic configuration of the atom is 2,1(K, L)
Valency of an atom is now equal to 8 - the atom's mass.
Valency of atom = 8 - 7 = 1.
Hence, its valency is 1.
