SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 42

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. +2

Due to its +2 valency, argentic can shed two electrons and become a cation with a +2 charge. The Latin word argentum, which means silver, is the source of the name argentic. Valency is an element's collective ability to share electron pairs to form bonds and create stable chemical compounds.
