valence electron is different from valency
so the answer is 5 not 3

Wrong question. Valency and valence electrons are two things. We've all been taught this and I wonder why some students here are speaking ignorantly, as if they have never been to a science class!.

Back to the question above, the Valence electron is 5 and it's valency is 3. Thanks.
