the lowest is -2
It's just Rubidium Sulfate. The name rubidium sulfate (sulfate is SO3)assumes that people can figure out the chemical formula based on the oxidation numbers of rubidium (+1) and sulfate (-2) and crisscrossing to get a net oxidation number of zero.
Mg is +2; S is -2
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 oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.

silver sulfide. its an oxidation process.
Mg is +2; S is -2
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 oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
Atomic sulfur has oxidation number 0. The oxidation number of the sulfide ion is -2. During formation of a wide variety of compounds, the oxidation status of sulfur may differ from -2 to +6.
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.
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
lead(II) sulfide Sulfur has an oxidation number of 2. Cross then superscript S^2 down in front of lead and there ya go.
The best name is gold(I) sulfide, as the oxidation state is +1. Another good name is digold sulfide which gives the stoichiometry. Some people use aurous and auric for oxidation s states 1 and 3- so they'd call this aurous sulfide. Gold has a lot of oxidation states - +1,+2,+3 and +5, aurous/auric dates from a time when only +1 and +3 were known.
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
