Because there in group 2
those elements which can donate two electrons will possess plus two oxidation state like calcium , magnesium ,etc...
It contains two elements. Na shows +1. chlorine shows -1 oxidation number.
Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium all have an oxidation state of plus 2.
Nitrogens oxidation number is plus five. Oxygen's number is minus two.
Oxidation number is +2 for Zn+2 ion
Because they have one valence electrons, and if they lose this electron they attain an oxidation number of +1
Group 2 or alkaline earth metals
those elements which can donate two electrons will possess plus two oxidation state like calcium , magnesium ,etc...
It contains two elements. Na shows +1. chlorine shows -1 oxidation number.
Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium all have an oxidation state of plus 2.
Nitrogens oxidation number is plus five. Oxygen's number is minus two.
Oxidation number is +2 for Zn+2 ion
Mn increase in oxidation number from +4 to +7.
Potassium's minimum oxidation number is zero.Its maximum is plus one.
2-
-2
Carbon has +2 oxidation number in Carbon monoxide. It gets this oxidation number when it loses or shares two electrons.
