Fluorine: -1 Chlorine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Bromine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Iodine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 The normal oxidation state of halides is -1, but with, for example, chlorine other oxidation states exist. Hypochlorites (+1), Chlorites (+3), Chlorates (+5), Perchlorates (+7). The same is true for all halogens, with the exception of fluorine, that seems to like it's -1 status and won't form fluorates.

What is the oxidation state of copper in the compound CuCl2?
+2 oxidation state for the Copper. -1 for the Chloride
Is oxidation number the same as common ions?
No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of chlorine in pbcl2?
The chlorine in PbCl2 exists as chloride ions, and the oxidation number of chloride ions is always -1.
What is the oxidation number to each element FeCl3?
It contains only two elements. Fe shows +3 number. Chlorine shows -1 as the oxidation number.
Is oxidation number shown with a subscript?
No: An oxidation number, if shown at all in a chemical formula, is shown with a superscript. The oxidation number is usually shown only for monatomic ions.
What are all the possible oxidation states for the halide ions?
-1 oxidation state
What is the oxidation state of copper in the compound CuCl2?
+2 oxidation state for the Copper. -1 for the Chloride
What is oxidation number for aluminum?
Metallic aluminium has the oxidation number zero. In compounds in the form of ions, it takes the oxidation number +III.Metallic aluminium has the oxidation number zero. In compounds in the form of ions, it takes the oxidation number +III.
Is oxidation number the same as common ions?
No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of chlorine in pbcl2?
The chlorine in PbCl2 exists as chloride ions, and the oxidation number of chloride ions is always -1.
What is the oxidation number for sulfur?
The oxidation number in atomic sulfur is 0. With other non metals, it produces many ions where its oxidation number varies from -2 to +6. The oxidation number of sulfide ion (which is produced usually with ions from metals) is -2.
Oxidation number of Cl?
Pure element has zero oxidation number. When forming ions it is equal the charge of ion.
Oxidation number of nitrogen?
Pure element has zero oxidation number. When forming ions it is equal the charge of ion.
What group has an oxidation number of zero and why?
Noble gas have 0 Oxidation number. That's because they do not form ions.
What is the oxidation number to each element FeCl3?
It contains only two elements. Fe shows +3 number. Chlorine shows -1 as the oxidation number.
Is oxidation number shown with a subscript?
No: An oxidation number, if shown at all in a chemical formula, is shown with a superscript. The oxidation number is usually shown only for monatomic ions.
What is meant by oxidation number?
Numerical charge on the ions of an element
