Which chemical family contains multivalent metals?

Some of the transition state metals are multivalent.

Multivalent metals are in the d-block, or transition metals, and the f-block, or inner transitions metals on the periodic table.


What is nitrogen sulphate?

This is a non-existent chemical. There are no nitrogen sulphates, either synthetic or naturally occurring. This is further verified by the 2014 Combined Chemical Dictionary which does not list it.


What is the formula for rubidium arsenide?

A little more information is needed. Rhenium is a transition metal, and as such, can have multiple valence states. If an ionic charge is known, for example, +2, then it can be assumed that the formula for the oxide would be RhO. If percent composition by mass is known, for example, 86.5% rhenium by mass, then math can be done to determine the formula of the oxide, which in this case, would also be RhO.


What is the oxidation state for each family?

Simple Ions: Atoms that have gained (cation) or lost (anion) electrons and the oxidation state is generally consistent.Family 1A (Alkali Metals): +1Family 2A (Alkaline Earth Metals): +2Family 3A (Boron Family): +3Family 4A (Carbon Family): +4 or -4 (Depends on the element you're dealing with)Family 5A (Nitrogen Family): -3Family 6A (Chalcogens): -2Family 7A (Halogens Family): -1Family 8A (Nobel Gases): 0 (inert)Multivalent Ions: Atoms of a given element may lose more or gain more electrons than another atom of the same element (Note: This applies to most of the B Families).There is a very long list but the general rule is the roman numeral next to the Atomic Symbol represent how many are taken/added. For example Cu+1 is Cuprous in Latin and the Stock System* is Copper (1) while Cu+2 is Cupric in Latin and the Stock System* is Copper (2)*Stock System is the elongated version of the Symbol and the Latin name.*Polyatomic Ions (Also Known as Radicals): Sometimes groups of atoms will share electrons to form clusters that are not neutral like they should be (Note: Only the most common are listed below).NH4+1: AmmoniumH3O+1: HydroniumOH-1: HydroxideCN-1: CyanideC2H3O2-1: AcetateCH3COO-1: Acetate (yes there are two)ClO3-1: ChlorateHCO3-1: BicarbonateCO3-1: CarbonateNO2-1: NitrateNO2-1: NiriteCrO4-2: ChromateCr2O7-2: DichromateHSO4-1: BisulfateSO3-2: SulfiteSO4-2: SulfatePO3-3: PhosphitePO4-3: Phosphate
