The answer to that would be 4+
The oxidation number of Ge in GeS2 is +4, as it belongs to group 14 on the Periodic Table and typically forms compounds where it has a +4 oxidation state. The sulfur atoms in GeS2 would have an oxidation number of -2 to balance the charge of the compound.
+4, -2
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
The oxidation numbers in PO3^4- are: P = +5 and O = -2. This is because the overall charge of the ion is -4, so the sum of the oxidation numbers must equal -4.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is equal to zero. This is because in a neutral compound, the total positive oxidation numbers are balanced by the total negative oxidation numbers to give a net charge of zero.
The chemical formula for germanium sulfide is GeS.
The oxidation numbers in PO3^4- are: P = +5 and O = -2. This is because the overall charge of the ion is -4, so the sum of the oxidation numbers must equal -4.
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.

No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
Yes, metals can have positive oxidation numbers when they lose electrons to form cations. However, metals typically do not have negative oxidation numbers since they usually do not gain electrons to form anions.
The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.
The oxidation number of Zn in ZnCl is +2. This is because chlorine (Cl) typically has an oxidation number of -1, and in ZnCl the overall charge is 0, so the oxidation number of Zn must be +2 to balance the charges.
Oxidation numbers in Fe2O3 are respectively: Fe => +3 and O => -2
Assigning oxidation numbers helps determine the charge on each element, which is crucial for balancing the overall charge in a chemical formula. It also helps in predicting the behavior of elements during chemical reactions and allows for the correct formation of compounds based on the transfer of electrons.
Carbon is a pblock element. It shows -4 to +4 oxidation numbers.
