What is the oxidation nuimber of KAuCl4?

The oxidation number of K in KAuCl4 is +1, as it belongs to group 1 elements. The oxidation number of Au in KAuCl4 is +3, as the overall charge on the compound is 0 and the chlorine atoms have an oxidation number of -1 each.


How many oxidation numbers in each group?

The maximum oxidation number is theoretically equal to the number of valence electrons. For example the oxidation number of chlorine among different compounds can vary from -1 to +7. An exception for this is fluorine, which only have -1 and 0 as its oxidation numbers.
