Question
If $Z = 3,$ what would be the valency of the element? Also, name the element.
✓
Answer
By $Z = 3$, we mean that the atomic number of the element is $3$. Its electronic configuration is $2, 1$. Hence, the valency of the element is $1$ (since the outermost shell has only one electron). Therefore, the element with $Z = 3$ is lithium.
