WHAT DOES MULTIVALENCY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

multivalency

Valence (chemistry)

In chemistry the valence of an element is a measure of its combining power with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules. The concept of valence was developed in the last half of the 19th century and was successful in explaining the molecular structure of many organic compounds. The quest for the underlying causes of valence lead to the modern theories of chemical bonding, including Lewis structures, valence bond theory, molecular orbitals, valence shell electron pair repulsion theory and all the advanced methods of quantum chemistry. The combining power or affinity of an atom of an element was determined by the number of hydrogen atoms that it combined with. In methane carbon has a valence of 4, in ammonia nitrogen has a valence of 3, in water oxygen has a valence of two, and in hydrogen chloride chlorine has a valence of 1. Chlorine, as it has valence of one, can be substituted for hydrogen, so phosphorus has a valence of 5 in phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5. Valence diagrams of a compound represent the connectivity of the elements, lines between two elements, sometimes called bonds, represented a saturated valency for each element.
