The phrase "valence state" is correct and commonly used in written English, particularly in technical or scientific writing.
It refers to the number of electrons in an atom's outermost energy level, which determines the atom's reactivity and ability to bond with other atoms. Example: "The valence state of carbon is four, allowing it to form strong covalent bonds with other elements."
It is oxidized to the zero valence state by the ferric ion, Fe3+, iodine (I2), and dilute nitric acid.
As noted above, several lanthanides may exhibit another valence state, R4+ for R = cerium, praseodymium, and terbium and R2+ for R = samarium, europium, and ytterbium.
The Cr ions exhibited +3 valence state other than +2 valence state.
For example, Bi takes 3+ or 5+ valence state in a compound and usually does not take 4+ valence state.
The structure, valence state and electrochemical performance were carefully investigated.
Clay plasticity index increases with low valence state content growing and reduces with high valence state content rising; Permeability coefficient becomes larger with cation valence state increasing in the same cation concentration solutions; whereas, clay shear strength decreases with low valence state content growing, and increases with high valence state ion content rising.
Elements identity and skeletal connection contains structure information while valence state definition includes relationship for valence state electro negativity and atom/group molar volume.
And we can see that InTe has almost In2+ valence state, and SnAs has a small discrepancy from Sn3+ valence state as we expected.
In living organisms, zinc is redox-inert and has only one valence state: Zn II).
The average V valence state for VPDP is 4.08 and the higher V valence state for VPDB is 4.26 due to higher amount of VV for VPDB.
SiO composites with Si1 +–Si3 + reversibly shift to a higher valence state during cycling.
