I think that Pb is +2 and I is -1. Mrs. Anderson
Lead +4, balanced by 2 oxygens with Ox. # of -2
The oxidation number of lead in PbCI2 is 2.
+4. Assign -2 to each oxygen atom.
+2. PbI2 could be named lead(II) iodide.
The answer to that would be 4+
The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.

It would be: PbI2

No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
All metals have positive oxidation numbers. Non-metals may have positive or negative oxidation numbers and some metalloids have both positive and negative oxidation numbers as well
PbI2 in solid state is brightly yellow
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
No, they can't only have positive oxidation numbers in compounds.
The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.
