Variable valencies are the valencies which can change e.g. Fe (iron) can either have the valency of 2 (Fe II) or 3 (Fe III)
Out of the non-metals you listed, nitrogen (N) is the only one that does not exhibit variable valency. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) can exhibit variable valency in certain compounds.

No, oxygen typically exhibits a fixed valency of -2 in most compounds.
Iron has variable valence. It can be either 2 or 3.
No, gold typically exhibits a fixed valency of +1. It commonly exists in its elemental form with a valency of 0 when not bonded to other elements.
Copper II sulphate has variable valency properties, which translates to variable charges.
because they have one valence electron
Yes. Mostly 3+ Ions, but 2+ ions can be encountered.
Certain elements combine with other atoms, donating, accepting or sharing electrons in different proportions depending on the nature of the reaction. For example, iron combines with oxygen to form ferrous oxide as well as ferric oxide. In the formation of ferrous oxide, iron exhibits a valency of +2, whereas in ferric oxide, it has a valency of +3. This is termed variable valency
Yes, elements with variable valency can be stored in water. However, the reactivity of the element will determine how stable it is in water. Some elements may react with water to form oxides or hydroxides, while others may remain stable. It is important to consider the specific properties of the element in question when storing it in water.
The valency of manganese can be determined by looking at its electron configuration. Manganese typically forms compounds in which it has a valency of +2, +3, +4, +6, or +7 depending on the specific compound it forms. This valency corresponds to the number of electrons that manganese can lose or gain to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Tin has a valency of +2 or +4 in the periodic table. It tends to form compounds in which it can either donate two or four electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
