An element's oxidation number indicates how many electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared to become stable.
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1, group 2 elements have an oxidation number of +2, group 17 elements have an oxidation number of -1, and group 18 elements (noble gases) have zero oxidation number since they are chemically unreactive.
Elements that have a single oxidation number include group 1 elements (e.g. sodium, potassium) which have an oxidation number of +1, and group 2 elements (e.g. magnesium, calcium) which have an oxidation number of +2.
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.
Elements with positive oxidation numbers have excess electrons that they can share or transfer with elements having negative oxidation numbers that have electron deficiencies. This transfer or sharing of electrons allows the elements to achieve a more stable electron configuration, forming compounds through the formation of ionic or covalent bonds.
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only

The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
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.
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.
There are 3 elements. This is meta phosphoric acid.
