When halogens bind to more electropositive elements (compared it itself), they show -1 oxidation state. When halogens bind to more electronegative elements (compared it itself), they show +1 oxidation state.

What element has -1 as an oxidation number?
The halogens (group 17) have an oxidation number of -1, though the halogens below fluorine can have other oxidation numbers as well. Hydrogen can also have an oxidation number of -1 when it forms hydrides.
What is the oxidation state of all halogens?
-1
The oxidation number of halogens is?
Most common is -1. But halogens (except fluorine) are known to exhibit oxidation numbers upto +7 in their compounds.
Can an oxidation number be 1?
Yes. All of the halogens usually have this oxidation number in their compounds.
What does an oxidation number of -1 mean?
A valence of -1, a monovalent anion as halogens ions.
Which elements have oxidation number 1?
Potassium and Lithium
What is the oxidation number of halide ions?
Fluorine: -1 Chlorine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Bromine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Iodine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 The normal oxidation state of halides is -1, but with, for example, chlorine other oxidation states exist. Hypochlorites (+1), Chlorites (+3), Chlorates (+5), Perchlorates (+7). The same is true for all halogens, with the exception of fluorine, that seems to like it's -1 status and won't form fluorates.
What is the sum of the oxidation states in the following species H2SbO3?
H = +1 oxidation states S = -2 oxidation states
What is rubidium oxidation states?
0 and 1 oxidation states
What are zincs oxidation states?
0, 1 and 2 oxidation states
How many oxidation states does zinc have?
3 Oxidation states: 0, 1 and 2
What is the oxidation state of oxygen in H2O2?
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
