heptavalent
Having seven valences
Heptavalent describes an atom or element with a valence of seven—capable of forming seven chemical bonds or having an oxidation state of plus or minus seven.
The term appears in chemistry for elements like manganese in permanganate compounds.
In medicine, a heptavalent vaccine protects against seven strains of a pathogen.
