What are the oxidation numbers for the metal groups 1A 2A 3A?

Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).


What is the oxidation number of non metals?

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.


What is the oxidation number for sulfur?

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.


What is the oxidation numbers of alkaline metals?

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


What is the oxidation number of NaH?

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.


What is the oxidation number of Re?

The oxidation number of rhenium (Re) can vary, but it is most commonly found in the +7 oxidation state.


What is Sulphur's oxidation number?

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.


What is the oxidation number for silver in sterling silver?

Oxidation numbers of all metals in an alloy, which Sterling is, are zero.


What is the oxidation number of cs02?

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.


How many oxidation numbers in each group?

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.


What are the oxidation numbers for this group?

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.
