  • Mn has seven valence electrons, hence it can go to maximum valency=7.
  • There are 2 electrons in the last shell of Os and six electrons in the d-orbital, so it can show valency = 8.
  • Ru is Ruthenium and it is a transition metal whose electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d7 5s1, so it can show valency = 8.
