Work Step by Step

If valency of an element A is 'x' and valency of another element B is 'y' then the formula of the compound is $A_{y}B_{x}$. If valency of an element A is 'x' and valency of another element B is also 'x' then the formula of the compound is $AB$. If valency of an element A is 'x' and valency of another element B is 'nx' then the formula of the compound is $A_{n}B$.
