The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers for P2O5?
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
What is THE common oxidation number for tantalum?
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
What would the oxidation numbers for PbI2 be?
I think that Pb is +2 and I is -1. Mrs. Anderson
Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
All metals have positive oxidation numbers. Non-metals may have positive or negative oxidation numbers and some metalloids have both positive and negative oxidation numbers as well
Why do lead and tin have different oxidation numbers even they are not in the transition element area?
One rationalization is the "inert pair effect" - lead and tin have oxidation numbers of +2 and +4 . The inert pair effect also rationaliss the two oxidation numbers of +1 and +3 exhibited by gallium, indium and thallium. In compounds with the lower oxidation numebrs the s electrons are not removed.

Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
All metals have positive oxidation numbers. Non-metals may have positive or negative oxidation numbers and some metalloids have both positive and negative oxidation numbers as well
Can metals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, they can't only have positive oxidation numbers in compounds.
Does oxidation numbers take into account stoicheometery?
The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.
What is the oxidation number of ZnCl?
The compound has no charge. This means that the positive oxidation numbers must equal the negative oxidation numbers. Cl has an oxidation number of -1. Therefore, Zn must have an oxidation number of +1.
What are the oxidation numbers of the elements fe2o3?
Oxidation numbers in Fe2O3 are respectively: Fe => +3 and O => -2
What is the oxidation number for Lead IV dichromate?
+4 for lead
