उत्तर
Certain elements exhibit more than one valency, that means they show variable valency.
Ferrous is written as Iron (II) and Ferric is written as Iron (III).
| Metal | Radicals | Valency |
| Iron | Ferrous [Iron (II)] Ferric [Iron (III)] |
2 3 |
| Copper | Cuprous [Copper (I)] Cupric [Copper (II)] |
1 2 |
