Do Isotopes Have Different Valencies?

Isotopes have same chemical properties but different physical properties. Both Cl³⁵ and Cl³⁷ have same atomic number, hence the number of electron in both of these atoms will be same. This will result in similar valencies.

Do isotopes of the same element have different valencies?

Valency can be defined as the combining capability of atoms in order to form molecules either with similar or with dissimilar elements. ... Because of the same atomic numbers that they share, isotopes are positioned at the same place in the periodic table.

Do compounds have valencies?

So compounds in general do not posses valencies, it is the ions or the combining atoms making up the compound that have different valencies and these valencies give rise to different chemical formulae for different components. For ions, the valency is equal to the charge possessed by the molecule.
