divalent
Forms two bonds
Divalent describes an atom or chemical group with a valence of two—able to form two bonds with other atoms.
In chemistry, calcium and magnesium are divalent metals, each capable of bonding with two univalent atoms like chlorine.
Divalent cations play essential roles in cellular processes.
Also called bivalent.
