Plumbous vs. Valence — What's the Difference?

(chemistry) Of, pertaining to, resembling or containing lead.

Another term for valency

(chemistry) Specifically, of compounds in which it has a lower valence as contrasted with plumbic compounds.

The combining capacity of an atom or group of atoms as determined by the number of electrons it can lose, add, or share when it reacts with other atoms or groups. Also called oxidation state.

Of, pertaining to, or containing, lead; - used specifically to designate those compounds in which it has a lower valence as contrasted with plumbic compounds.

An integer used to represent this capacity, which may be given as positive or negative depending on whether electrons are lost or gained, respectively

Relating to or consisting of lead

The number of binding sites of a molecule, such as an antibody or antigen.

The number of different antigens contained in a vaccine, corresponding to the number of pathogens that it is active against.

(Psychology) The degree of attraction or aversion that an individual feels toward a specific object or event.

(Linguistics) The number and type of arguments that a lexical item, especially a verb, can combine with to make a syntactically well-formed sentence, often along with a description of the categories of those constituents. Intransitive verbs (appear, arrive) have a valence of one—the subject; some transitive verbs (paint, touch), two—the subject and direct object; other transitive verbs (ask, give), three—the subject, direct object, and indirect object.

The capacity of something to unite, react, or interact with something else

The combining capacity of an atom, functional group, or radical determined by the number of atoms of hydrogen with which it will unite, or the number of electrons that it will gain, lose, or share when it combines with other atoms, etc.

The number of binding sites of a molecule, such as an antibody or antigen.

The number of arguments that a verb can have, including its subject, ranging from zero to three or, less commonly, four.

A one-dimensional value assigned by a person to an object, situation, or state, that can usually be positive (causing a feeling of attraction) or negative (repulsion).

The value which a person places on something.

Alternative spelling of valance

The degree of combining power of an atom (or radical) as shown by the number of atoms of hydrogen (or of other monads, as chlorine, sodium, etc.) with which it will combine, or for which it can be substituted, or with which it can be compared; thus, an atom of hydrogen is a monad, and has a valence of one; the atoms of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon are respectively dyads, triads, and tetrads, and have a valence respectively of two, three, and four.

(biology) a relative capacity to unite or react or interact as with antigens or a biological substrate

(chemistry) a property of atoms or radicals; their combining power given in terms of the number of hydrogen atoms (or the equivalent)
