Can an element have more than one oxidation number?

Of course they can have.Many elements have several oxidation numbers.


What is the common oxidation numbers of fermium?

The most common oxidation numbers of fermium, Fm, are +2 and +3, though there are no stable isotopes (half-life times shorter than 100 days)


Do all elements in a group have the same oxidation numbers?

There is at least one oxidation number shared by all the elements in a periodic table column, but some of the elements may have more than one oxidation number and some of these additional oxidation numbers may not be possible for all the elements in a column.


Is a3 plus b3 plus c3 always greater than a plus b plus c?

If the digits "3" in the question are intended to be superscripts, the answer is no. The sum of the cubes will be less than the sum of the base numbers if all the base numbers are less than 1 and sometimes will be less in other circumstances.


What is the oxidation number og hydrogen when in a compound other than a hydride?

1+ is the normal oxidation number for hydrogen


How can you predict oxidation numbers?

The more electronegative elements attract electrons from other elements. A Lewis structure is an easy method to determine oxidation numbers. As a simple example let's take H--Cl. The electrons are slightly attracted to chlorine than hydrogen. That means the chlorine atom 'tries to steal' one extra electron, hence oxidation number is -1. Hydrogen tries to 'give away' one electron, hence +1 oxidation number.

What are three elements that have more than oxidation number?

Common examples include many nonmetals as sulfur which bears oxidation numbers varying from -2 to +6 in forming compounds. In oxychlorides, the oxidation number of chlorine atom(s) vary from -1 to +7. Many transition elements also bear different oxidation numbers. Copper has two ions: Copper(I) which is colorless and Copper(II) which is pale blue.


Explain why 71113 plus 13 and 7654321 plus 5 are composite numbers?

71113 + 13 = 71126 7654321 + 5 = 7654326 Both can be divided by numbers other than 1 and itself. Hence both are composite.

Can a element have more than one oxidation number?

Yes. Transition metals and halogens other than fluorine are particularly likely to have more than one oxidation number among all their compounds.


What elements can have variable oxidation numbers are known as known as what group of elements?

Most elements can have more than one oxidation number, but I think you are looking for the transition elements in groups 3 - 12.
