0 in the elemental form, +2 and +4 in its compounds
The oxidation number of tin can vary depending on the compound it is in. In its elemental form (Sn), tin has an oxidation number of 0. In some compounds, tin can exhibit oxidation numbers of +2 and +4.
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
It is a gas. Generally it shows -2 oxidation number.
0 in the elemental form. +2 and +4 in its compounds
-1 is most common in chlorides. However chlorine can exhibit oxidation numbers up to +7 in its compounds.

+2 and +4
+4 is the most common
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
One rationalization is the "inert pair effect" - lead and tin have oxidation numbers of +2 and +4 . The inert pair effect also rationaliss the two oxidation numbers of +1 and +3 exhibited by gallium, indium and thallium. In compounds with the lower oxidation numebrs the s electrons are not removed.
Argon is very unreactive as it is a noble gas. Its common oxidation number is zero.
It is a gas. Generally it shows -2 oxidation number.
+2. But its a close run thing- there are a lot of +4 compounds.
0 in the elemental form. +2 and +4 in its compounds
Argon doesn't form compounds and so its oxidation number is zero
-1 in bromide (most common). It can exhibit oxidation numbers from -1 to +7 (in HBrO4)
-1 is most common in chlorides. However chlorine can exhibit oxidation numbers up to +7 in its compounds.
