The mass number of atoms equals the total number of protons plus neutrons.
As a result, mass number = 3 + 4 = 7.
Now, the valency of an atom equals the mass number of that atom.
Atom valency = 8 - 7 = 1.
As a result, the compound requires one electron to be stable.
Furthermore, because the compound has three protons, its electronic configuration will be 1s2,2s1.
The molecule will lose one electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
As a result, its valency is 1.
