How will you find the valency of chlorine, sulphur and magnesium?

Chlorine:
Atomic number \(=\)
Number of protons \(=\)
 \(=\) Number of electrons
Electronic configuration or electron distribution \(=\)
 
Chlorine to complete its outermost shell. Hence, its valency is
.
 
Sulphur:
Atomic number \(=\)
Number of protons \(=\)
\(=\) Number of electrons
Electronic configuration or electron distribution \(=\)
Sulphur  to complete its outermost shell. Hence, its valency is
.
  
Magnesium:
Atomic number \(=\)
Number of protons \(=\)
 \(=\) Number of electrons
Electronic configuration or electron distribution \(=\)
 
Magnesium  to complete its outermost shell. Hence, its valency is
.
