What is the oxidation number for group 2 elements?
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
Elements that have a single oxidation number?
Group 1 elements have +1 oxidation number (except for hydrogen) All group 2 elements have +2 oxidation number Fluoride ion always has -1
Why do elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number?
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
How does the oxidation number indicate if an electron will be lost or gained?
If an atom loses electron, then it will have a positive oxidation number. If an atom gains electron, then it will have a negative oxidation number.
Elements with an oxidation number of 1 include what?
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
What is the oxidation number for group 2 elements?
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
What is the oxidation number of pure elements?
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
Elements with an oxidation number of 1 include what elements?
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?

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.
What is the oxidation number of a element?
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
The elements what determines how the compound will be formed?
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.
What is a elements oxidation number?
A neutral atom has an oxidation number of 0. An anion has a negative oxidation number. The oxidation number of a cation is positive.
