Nitrogen is a good example:
-3 in NH3
-2 in N2H4
-1 in NH2OH
0 in N2
+1 in N2O
+2 in NO
+3 in NaNO2
+4 in NO2
+5 in HNO3
Other elements are not as versatile as nitrogen, but a typical non-metal will show all odd or even oxidation numbers over a range of 8 units, as well as zero, while a typical metal will show all odd or even oxidation numbers between 0 and its valence.
The elements that do show only one common oxidation number (other than zero) are all of the s-block elements and fluorine and oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
What is THE common oxidation number for tantalum?
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
What is oxidation number of transition elements?
The oxidation number of transition elements can vary because they have multiple oxidation states. Transition metals typically exhibit more than one oxidation state due to the presence of partially filled d orbitals, allowing them to lose a variable number of electrons. Common oxidation states for transition elements range from +1 to +7.
Oxidation number of groups in periodic table?
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1, group 2 elements have an oxidation number of +2, group 17 elements have an oxidation number of -1, and group 18 elements (noble gases) have zero oxidation number since they are chemically unreactive.
Elements that have a single oxidation number?
Elements that have a single oxidation number include group 1 elements (e.g. sodium, potassium) which have an oxidation number of +1, and group 2 elements (e.g. magnesium, calcium) which have an oxidation number of +2.
What is the oxidation number for all elements in this group?
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.
What is a common oxidation number that is -2?
Generally for group 16 elements, like oxygen, sulphur, selenium.
What is THE common oxidation number for tantalum?
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
What what elements most common oxidation state is 2?
Elements in group 2 mostly takes the oxidation number +II.
Do elements in the s or p block generally have only one common oxidation number while d elements can have more than one possible oxidation number?
pretty much that is correct. although lead (Pb) is and example of of a +2 or +4 element and Arsenic (As) is a +3 or +5 element

What is the common oxidation number for all elements in group 17 of the periodic table?
-1.
Oxidation number of groups in periodic table?

Elements that have a single oxidation number?
Elements that have a single oxidation number include group 1 elements (e.g. sodium, potassium) which have an oxidation number of +1, and group 2 elements (e.g. magnesium, calcium) which have an oxidation number of +2.
What is the oxidation number for all elements in this group?
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.
Do all elements in a group have the same oxidation numbers?
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.
What the common oxidation number for hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a light gas. It generally shows +1 oxidation number.
What is the oxidation numbers of neptunium?
The oxidation number for an element by itself is 0. The oxidation number Np could have in a compound depends on what other elements it is bonded with. One common online periodic table lists the most common oxidation number for Np in compounds as +5, and less common states as +3, +4, +6, and +7.
