It is always 0.
The oxidation state of lone elements and atoms in gases is zero. This is because they are in their elemental form and are not involved in any chemical bonding that would require a transfer of electrons.
The oxidation state of a lone element is 0. Lone elements are in their elemental form and do not have any other atoms to share or transfer electrons with, resulting in an oxidation state of 0.
zero (0)
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.
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
Fluorine typically has an oxidation state of -1.
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
In a compound the sum of oxidation states of the elements contained is zero.E1 + E2 + ... = 0If you know the oxidation states of the elements E1... you can calculate the oxidation state of the element E2.
Elements in group 2 mostly takes the oxidation number +II.
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.
one can find the bond pairs by finding the oxidation state on the central atom
the answer is..... well figure it out yourself you dumb as*
