The highest oxidation state ever achieved by an element is +8. This oxidation state can be found in 3 elements: Osmium, Ruthenium and Xenon.
The synthetic element Hassium is also expected to have this oxidation state.

What determines the most likely oxidation state of an element?
the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell
Element with oxidation state of -2?
The most common oxidation state of -2 would be Oxygen.
Element M is a metal and its chloride has the formula MCl2 To which group of the Periodic Table does element M most likely belong?
2(IIA) Because The elements in Group 2 (IIA) are metals with a +2 oxidation state. Thus one atom of a Group 2 metal can combine with 2 atoms of chlorine (oxidation state = -1)
What is the most likely oxidation state of chlorine?
In one's initial studies of chemistry it is -1. However, don't forget that in chlorine itself the O.S. is zero.
Which form of weathering most likely caused the reddish coloring of the rocks in the photo?
Oxidation
What determines the most likely oxidation state of an element?

What determines the most likely oxidation state of element?
The number of electrons of the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell (apex)
How is an element's most likely oxidation state related to its valence electrons?
It indicates how many electrons are required to complete a full valence shell.
What is the most likely oxidation state of Cl?
the most common oxidation state of chlorine is -1.
What is the element Mercury major oxidation state?
Mercury's most common oxidation state is +2
What is the most likely oxidation state of Al?
The highest oxidation state which can be achieved by any element is +8. After all experiments, this state is only found in Osmium, Ruthenium and Xenon. But the synthetic element Hassium is also expected to have this oxidation state.
What is the most likely oxidation state nitrogen?
-3
What is most likely oxidation state of nitrogen?
