Predominantly, the transition elements, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Actually all elements that have reactions can have more than one oxidation number in the sense that their oxidation number is 0 when they are in pure form and usually is some other value when they are in compounds.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How do atom get an oxidation number?
The oxidation number of an atom is determined by the number of electrons it gains, loses, or shares when forming a chemical bond. The rules for assigning oxidation numbers are based on the electronegativity of the elements and the structure of the compound. Generally, less electronegative elements have more positive oxidation numbers, while more electronegative elements have more negative oxidation numbers.
Why do elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number?
Elements with positive oxidation numbers have excess electrons that they can share or transfer with elements having negative oxidation numbers that have electron deficiencies. This transfer or sharing of electrons allows the elements to achieve a more stable electron configuration, forming compounds through the formation of ionic or covalent bonds.
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.
What is the oxidation numbers of alkaline metals?
The question should be either 'alkali metals' or 'alkaline earth metals'. For alkali metals or group 1 elements, the oxidation number is +1 (note. hyddrogen can have +1 and -1). For alkaline earth metals, the oxidation number is +2 In addition all these elements will have an oxidation number of 0 in their elemental form

What elements can have variable oxidation numbers are known as known as what group of elements?
Most elements can have more than one oxidation number, but I think you are looking for the transition elements in groups 3 - 12.
Which is negative oxidation state in 13 group elements?
The most common negative oxidation state in Group 13 elements is -3. This is particularly seen in compounds where these elements form three bonds with more electronegative species.

Can an element have more than one oxidation number?
Of course they can have.Many elements have several oxidation numbers.

What is the most common oxidation number for group three on the periodic table?
Generally third A group elements in the periodic table exhibit +3 oxidation state but Boron exhibit negative oxidation state also . The stable oxidation state of Tl is +1. It exhibit +3 also but +1 is more stable than +3. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID N091528

Do elements in the s or p block generally have one common oxidation number?
No, this is not the case. Firstly, a simple substance (pure element) always has oxidation number 0. Then there is the fact that when combining with an element more electronegative than the element in question it will tend to have a positive oxidation number while if the element is more electropositive it will tend to have a negative oxidation number.Nitrogen is a good example:-3 in NH3-2 in N2H4-1 in NH2OH0 in N2+1 in N2O+2 in NO+3 in NaNO2+4 in NO2+5 in HNO3Other 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.
Why some elements has more than one oxidation number?
An element in which there are at least two almost equally energetic highest energy electrons can have more than one oxidation number, because some reagents will involve only one of these high energy electrons and other reagents or reaction conditions may involve more than one.
How do transition metals properties compare with those of elements farther to the left?
The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
