Do you mean $valency?$ $"valency?"$

Explanation:

Hydrogen typically displays a valency of $+ I$ $+I$ or $- I$ $-I$ .

It can form hydrides with metals, i.e. $M H$ $MH$ or $M H_{2}$ $MH_2$ , in which the hydrogen atom has an oxidation of $- I$ $-I$ , and it can typically form hydroxides, in which its oxidation number is $+ I$ $+I$ .
