Answer» Hii There!!!
◆Nickel has VARIABLE valency as it belongs to D-Block of the modern periodic table.
◆Valency of Nickel is +1 , + 2 , +3 and +4 But generally in the questions we use +2 valency of Nickel because, valency of an element depends upon the HIGHEST ENERGY LEVEL of 's' and 'p' shell.
◆ For nickel it would be 4s2 so resulting +2 valency by giving both the s-electrons away.
