- Defines default valence and charge (range) and valence electrons for - several s- and p-block periodic elements. The values allow checking for - abnormal charge/valence on the defined element. A value of 'n/a' means it is - not checked. If a valence value is in specified parentheses then it is - considered fixed and valid for all charge states, if a value is in square - brackets it is only valid for neutral atoms - It should be noted that the model used is only for checking abnormal valence - and not adding implied hydrogens. The model follows a simple pattern which - leads to incorrect results (e.g. 5 valent carbon cation ion - [C+H5]) but - matches observed warnings from the Daylight Depict, daylight.com/daycgi/depict - period 1 H (0),1 -1,1 1 He 0 0,0 2 - period 2 Li (0),[1] 0,1 1 Be n/a n/a 2 B 0,3 0,0 3 C [0],2,4 -1,1 4 N [0],3,(5) -3,1 5 O [0],2 -2,1 6 F (0),(1) -1,0 7 Ne 0,0 0,0 8 - period 3 Na (0),[1] 0,1 1 Mg 0,2 0,2 2 Al n/a n/a 3 Si n/a n/a 4 P [0],3,5 -3,1 5 S [0],2,4,6 n/a 6 Cl [0],1,3,5,7 n/a 7 Ar 0 0,0 8 - period 4 (excluding d-block) K (0),[1] 0,1 1 Ca 0,2 0,2 2 Ga n/a n/a 3 Ge n/a n/a 4 As [0],3,5 -3,1 5 Se [0],2,4,6 n/a 6 Br [0],1,3,5,7 n/a 7 Kr 0 0,0 8 - period 5 (excluding d-block) Rb n/a n/a 1 Sr 0,2 0,2 2 In n/a n/a 3 Sn n/a n/a 4 Sb n/a n/a 5 Te [0],2,4,6 n/a 6 I [0],1,3,5,7 n/a 7 Xe 0 0,0 8 - period 6 (excluding d-block and f-block) Cs n/a n/a 1 Ba 0,2 0,2 2 Tl n/a n/a 3 Pb n/a n/a 4 Bi n/a n/a 5 Po n/a n/a 6 At [0],1,3,5,7 n/a 7 Rn 0 0,0 8 - period 7 (excluding d-block and f-block) Fr n/a n/a 1 Ra 0,2 0,2 2
