The given statement is true.
Concept- To complete the octet, an atom requires a certain number of valence electrons. This number denotes the valency of the atom. To attain stability, the number of electrons gained or lost is equal to the electrons required for attaining a stable electronic configuration. The atom gains a net charge when a certain amount of electrons are gained or lost. This net charge is equal to the valency of the monatomic ion.
Hence, the statement is true.
