The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
+2
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
Group 1 elements have +1 oxidation number (except for hydrogen) All group 2 elements have +2 oxidation number Fluoride ion always has -1
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.
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
Elements in group 2 mostly takes the oxidation number +II.
Most elements can have more than one oxidation number, but I think you are looking for the transition elements in groups 3 - 12.
The way in which elements bond to form compounds depends on the arrangement and number of electrons in the atoms. This is what will determine the type of boding that elements will form.
They do not. The group 2 elements, Be, Mg, Ca etc, have oxidation numbers of +2.
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
