| Jun 17, 2015 at 23:07 | comment | added | Mithoron | @voldemort As you wrote iron can have +6 oxidation number and than also valence = 6 I'm afraid that you're trying to learn what they are on one of more difficult cases. | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 22:56 | comment | added | Saturn | @Mithoron Then why doesn't Iron have a valency of $6$? Since its outer shell has only $2$ electrons, it could gain $6$ to reach $8$? | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 22:52 | comment | added | Mithoron | @voldemort one can imagine that oxygen gets 2 electr. to have 8 total - octet | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 18:31 | comment | added | Saturn | Why does Oxygen have valency $2$? It has $6$ electrons in its outer shell I think? Or am I calculating this all wrong? | |
