The oxidation state of an element is determined by the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence electron shell.
The most likely oxidation state of an element is determined by the number of valence electrons it has. Elements tend to react in a way that allows them to achieve a full outer electron shell, often following the octet rule. This leads to the most common oxidation state for that element.
The element with the lowest oxidation state on the periodic table is Francium.
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
Vanadium is an element that commonly exhibits an oxidation state of +5.
Hydrogen is an element that can have an oxidation state of -1 when it is part of a hydride ion, such as in lithium hydride (LiH).
