Most elements can have more than one oxidation number, but I think you are looking for the transition elements in groups 3 - 12.

What are the oxidation numbers for this group?

The oxidation numbers for elements in Group 1A (alkali metals) are typically +1. For elements in Group 2A (alkaline earth metals), the oxidation number is typically +2.


What trend do the oxidation numbers in group A follow?

The oxidation numbers in group A elements typically increase by one as you move from left to right across the periodic table. For example, group 1 elements usually have an oxidation state of +1, while group 7 elements typically have an oxidation state of -1.


What group has variable oxidation numbers?

Groups 1 and 2 are +1 and +2 respectivelly.. Group 3-12 have variable oxidation numbers - they are the so-called transition metals. Group 14-17 have variable oxidation numbers -even group 18- has- there are a number of different compounds of Xe for example. Group 1 and 2 have some strange compounds such as Cs11O3 . A better question might be which group doesn't have variable oxidation numbers!


What are the elements with fixed oxidation number?

Elements with fixed oxidation numbers include alkali metals (group 1 elements) which have a +1 oxidation state, alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) which have a +2 oxidation state, and nonmetals in group 17 (halogens) which have a -1 oxidation state in compounds.


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.


Has oxidation numbers of plus 1 and -1?

Elements with oxidation numbers of +1 include elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, like hydrogen and sodium. Elements with oxidation numbers of -1 include elements in Group 17, like fluorine and chlorine.


Oxidation number for first 20 elements?

The oxidation numbers for the first 20 elements in the periodic table are typically as follows: Group 1 elements: +1; Group 2 elements: +2; Group 13 elements: +3; Group 14 elements: +4 or -4; Group 15 elements: -3; Group 16 elements: -2; Group 17 elements: -1; Group 18 elements: 0. Keep in mind that oxidation numbers can vary in different compounds and contexts.


What is the oxidation number for group 2 elements?

Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only


How many oxidation numbers in each group?

The maximum oxidation number is theoretically equal to the number of valence electrons. For example the oxidation number of chlorine among different compounds can vary from -1 to +7. An exception for this is fluorine, which only have -1 and 0 as its oxidation numbers.


What is the oxidation number of group 1 elements?

+1 only for all elements (except for hydrogen) hydrogen can have +1 and -1 as their oxidation numbers.


What is the oxidation number for all elements in this group?

Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.


How do you find the oxidation number using the periodic table of elements?

To find the oxidation number of an element using the periodic table, you need to consider the group number for main group elements and the charge on transition metals. Main group elements typically have oxidation numbers equal to their group number, while transition metals can have multiple oxidation states indicated by Roman numerals in parentheses. Exceptions like oxygen (-2) and hydrogen (+1) exist, and the sum of oxidation numbers in a compound must equal zero.
