Want this question answered?
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.
Group 1 elements have +1 oxidation number (except for hydrogen) All group 2 elements have +2 oxidation number Fluoride ion always has -1
Predominantly those in wide form periodic table column 16, especially oxygen and sulfur.
You are asking about group 12. Generally they shows 14 as the oxidation number.
+1 only for all elements (except for hydrogen) hydrogen can have +1 and -1 as their oxidation numbers.

all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....

Predominantly, the transition elements, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Actually all elements that have reactions can have more than one oxidation number in the sense that their oxidation number is 0 when they are in pure form and usually is some other value when they are in compounds.
Atomic number is not related to oxidation number. If you want to find the atomic number of a particular element, all you have to do is find it on the periodic table of elements.
they have the same number of valence electrons
because if you know the oxidation numbers of all the reactants and products in a given reaction, you can determine which, if any, of the reactants were oxidized and which were reduced. oxidized is when the oxidation number increases, reduced is when the oxidation number decreases.
