Thus valencies get exchanged while writing formula. 1.The 1 of Sodium goes to Oxygen 2.The 2 of Oxygen goes to Sodium.
NOTE:Na is Sodium element; O is Oxygen element Not to confuse Atomicity with Valency. Atomicity is the number of atoms present in one molecule/atom of a compound/element respectively. E.g.- Atomicity of is 2 and that of is 1.
