	Valency - LoveToKnow 1911
		The doctrine of valency, in chemistry, may be defined as the doctrine of the combining power of the atoms or elementary radicles of which compound molecules consist.
		Frankland dealt more particularly with the valency of the metallic elements, in which he was specially interested at the time; but in conjunction with his co-worker Kolbe, he subsequently applied it to compounds of carbon.
		A crystalline structure is regarded as a close-packed, homogeneous assemblage of the spheres of influence of the component atoms.

		Steven Boxer is the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University.
		He was the Head of Chemistry from 1985 to 1990, Chair of the Curriculum in Applied Sciences from 1994 to1997, and Vice Chancellor/Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Research from 1994 to 1999.
		Following a spell as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Crete, Greece, he returned to the UK at the University of Sussex where he was successively Lecturer (1989-1993), Reader (1993-1996) and Professor (1997-2004) of Solid State Chemistry at the School of Chemistry, Physics and Environmental Science.

	chemistry. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The original distinction between organic and inorganic chemistry arose as chemists gradually realized that compounds of biological origin were quite different in their general properties from those of mineral origin; organic chemistry was defined as the study of substances produced by living organisms.
		Inorganic chemistry is the study of chemical elements and their compounds (with the exception of carbon compounds).
		The beginnings of chemistry, or alchemy, as it was first known, are mingled with occultism and magic.

	Valency (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The linguistical meaning of valence is derived from the definition of valency in chemistry.
		The term valence has a related technical meaning in lexical semantics that elaborates on the role of argument structure - it refers to the capacity of other lexical units to combine with the given word.
		For instance, valence is one of the elements defining a construction in some Construction Grammars.

	Valence (chemistry) Summary
		In Magnesium atoms (Mg+2) the valence is +2.
		A white background indicates that the chemistry of the element is not known sufficiently for a valence to be assigned.
		The valence of an element is not always equal to its highest oxidation state: exceptions include ruthenium, osmium and xenon, which have valences of six (hexafluorides) but which form compounds with oxygen in the +8 oxidation state, and chlorine, which has a valence of five but a highest oxidation state of +7 (in perchlorates).

	VALENCY - Online Information article about VALENCY
		odd and those of even valency; apart from a few exceptional compounds, elements are to be reckoned as belonging either to the one or to the other of these two classes.
		The chemistry of the carbon compounds is, in fact, the chemistry of substitution compounds; no other element can be said to give rise to substitution compounds.
		But the number of hydrogen and methyl radicles which the atom carries cannot be taken as the measure of absolute valency in the case of elements of the chlorine, oxygen and nitrogen classes.

	Bond (chemistry) - ninemsn Encarta
		Here, each of the four valency electrons of a carbon atom is shared with one of the valency electrons of another carbon atom, so that every carbon atom in the structure has four different carbon atoms bonded to it, as shown in the table above.
		Metals typically have few valency electrons, and occur in groups I, II, and III of the periodic table; reactive non-metals typically have more electrons in their outermost shells, and occur in groups IV, V, VI, and VII.
		An ionic bond occurs when a metal loses all its valency electrons, leaving a positively charged ion with a noble gas structure, and a non-metal gains the number of electrons it requires to give it a noble gas structure, and becomes a negative ion.

	Valency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Valency is the combining power of an element.
		Valence, also known as valency or valency number, is a measure of the number of chemical bonds formed by the atoms of a given element.
		Valency is the numerical value of the charge on an ion (cation or anion), describing the number of bonds which can be formed by the ion.

	Chemistry basics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The most important property of atoms is that they bind together in clumps, to form molecules, and chemistry can be regarded as the study of all the different types of molecules (chemicals) that are possible.
		Thus, an atom of hydrogen has a valency of one, an atom of oxygen has a valency of two, an atom of nitrogen has a valency of three and an atom of carbon has a valency of four - which, for most purposes, is that largest valency that is possible.
		Shape is the essence of chemistry; virtually all the properties of a molecule, such as its melting point and the way it interacts with other molecules are determined by its shape.

		The course consists of two major parts: organic chemistry with particular reference to the basic types of compounds that are present in living systems; and the biochemistry of these compounds, their structures, synthesis and metabolism, and how energy is obtained from biochemical processes.
		Chemistry of enzymatic reactions; coenzymes; cell structure; metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids; biological oxidation; metabolic regulation.
		Topics include a survey of the chemistry of both non-metal and metal elements, group theory, coordination compounds, organometallic compounds, mechanisms and reactions, culminating in the discussion of bioinorganic chemistry and the interaction of metals in proteins.

	TALEEM --Teaching Learning Material (TLM)
		Valency is one of the most fundamental concepts in chemical bonding, chemical reactions, etc. This game is used to help children learn the concept of valency and its application in Chemistry.
		Valency is the minimum number of electrons that any atom loses/gains to reach a stable state (octet state).
		Valency thus determines how active or passive an ion is. Ions which can easily lose or gain an electron to reach a stable state are highly reactive.

	Chemistry : Elements & Radicals with Negative Valencies
		Valency is the number of hydrogen atoms that can combine with [or displace] one atom of the element [or radical] to form a compound.
		Valency may also be defined as the number of electrons that an atom donates or accepts to form the duplet state (i.e., 2 electrons in outermost shell) or octet state (i.e., 8 electrons in outermost shell).
		Elements [or radicals] with valency one are monovalent, those with valency two are divalent, and those with valency three are trivalent.

	The Chemical Bond - The Quantum Mechanical Explanation of Valency
		The valency of the hydrogen atom is unity as it possesses one unpaired electron and one orbital vacancy.
		The electrons in the valence shell of an atom which are not involved in the formation of a chemical bond (as they are already paired in an orbital on the atom) may also be indicated and the resulting symbols are called Lewis structures.
		Instead, the chemistry of the elements in groups II and III is largely characterized by the orbital vacancies which they possess in their valency shell.

	Chemistry : Elements & Radicals with Positive Valencies
		Similarly, the valency of chlorine in the compound hydrogen chloride [HCl] is 1, and the valency of the ammonium radical [NH ] in the compound ammonium chloride [NH Cl] is 1.
		For elements that do not combine with hydrogen, the valency is the combining power of the element with another element whose valency is known.
		Elements with valency one are monovalent, those with valency two are divalent, and those with valency three are trivalent.

		The valency of an element is a number, or set of numbers, from which the formulae of many of its compounds can be derived.
		The valencies of some of the more important elements are given in the Appendix at the end of this chapter.

	Chemistry Lewis Dot structure
		The structure of carbon and its compound can be expressed using the Lewis-dot structure This system identifies how the atoms that compose a molecule of a specific compound are attached (bonded) to one another and (to some extent) oriented in space.
		An atom is indicated by its symbol with a number of dots representing the number of valency electrons e.g Hydrogen would be H with a single dot, Carbon would be a C with four dots.
		Paired valency electrons are not normally available for forming bonds with other atoms.
