Valency in terms of chlorine:
  
The chlorine's valency is one. The number of chlorine atoms with which one atom of an element can join is called its valency.
Example:
In a sodium chloride (NaCl) molecule, one chlorine atom joins with one sodium atom. So, the valency of sodium is one.

Chlorine valency
  
In magnesium chloride (\(MgCl_2\)), the valency of magnesium is two because it combines with two chlorine atoms.

Magnesium valency
Valency in terms of oxygen:
  
Another way of valency can be described as double the number of oxygen atoms with which one atom of an element can join because the valency of oxygen is two.

Oxygen valency
  
In magnesium oxide (MgO), the valency of  magnesium is two.
