transition metals have variable oxidation states
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.
The oxidation number in atomic sulfur is 0. With other non metals, it produces many ions where its oxidation number varies from -2 to +6. The oxidation number of sulfide ion (which is produced usually with ions from metals) is -2.
The question should be either 'alkali metals' or 'alkaline earth metals'. For alkali metals or group 1 elements, the oxidation number is +1 (note. hyddrogen can have +1 and -1). For alkaline earth metals, the oxidation number is +2 In addition all these elements will have an oxidation number of 0 in their elemental form
The oxidation number of Na in NaH is +1 because alkali metals like Na typically have a +1 oxidation state in compounds. The oxidation number of H in NaH is -1 because hydrogen usually has a -1 oxidation state when bonded to metals.
The oxidation number of rhenium (Re) can vary, but it is most commonly found in the +7 oxidation state.
The oxidation number in atomic sulfur is 0. The oxidation number of sulfide ion is -2. With oxygen and other non metals, it makes numerous ions where its oxidation number varies from -2 to +6.
Oxidation numbers of all metals in an alloy, which Sterling is, are zero.
The oxidation number of Cs in Cs2O is +1 because alkali metals such as Cs typically have an oxidation number of +1 in compounds. The oxidation number of oxygen is usually -2, so the total sum of oxidation numbers in Cs2O is 0.
The maximum oxidation number is theoretically equal to the number of valence electrons. For example the oxidation number of chlorine among different compounds can vary from -1 to +7. An exception for this is fluorine, which only have -1 and 0 as its oxidation numbers.
The oxidation numbers for elements in Group 1A (alkali metals) are typically +1. For elements in Group 2A (alkaline earth metals), the oxidation number is typically +2.
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
