This suffix is in English -ous.
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.
fluorine
The suffix -ite is associated with a lower number of atoms. The suffix -ic is associated with a higher number of atoms.
It is determined from known oxidation states of other elements.
Boron
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
Group 1 elements have +1 oxidation number (except for hydrogen) All group 2 elements have +2 oxidation number Fluoride ion always has -1
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.
Elements in group 2 mostly takes the oxidation number +II.
The suffis -ous is added for a lower valence and the suffix -ic for a higher valence.Examples: ferric-ferrous, cupric-cuprous.
oxidation
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
They do not. The group 2 elements, Be, Mg, Ca etc, have oxidation numbers of +2.
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
