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 are the oxidation numbers for this group?
The oxidation numbers for elements in Group 1A (alkali metals) are typically +1. For elements in Group 2A (alkaline earth metals), the oxidation number is typically +2.
What are the oxidation numbers for the metal groups 1A 2A 3A?
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
What are the rules for oxidation numbers?
The oxidation number of an atom in its elemental form is 0. In a compound, the sum of oxidation numbers must equal the overall charge of the compound. In a polyatomic ion, the sum of oxidation numbers must equal the charge of the ion. Some elements have fixed oxidation numbers (e.g., alkali metals +1, alkaline earth metals +2).
What are the elements with fixed oxidation number?
Elements with fixed oxidation numbers include alkali metals (group 1 elements) which have a +1 oxidation state, alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) which have a +2 oxidation state, and nonmetals in group 17 (halogens) which have a -1 oxidation state in compounds.
Do all metals have two oxidation numbers?
No, not all metals have two oxidation numbers. Some metals may have multiple oxidation numbers depending on the bonding situation and the compounds they form.

Do all metals have two oxidation numbers?
No, not all metals have two oxidation numbers. Some metals may have multiple oxidation numbers depending on the bonding situation and the compounds they form.
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.
What is the oxidation number in Alkaline Earth Metals?
The oxidation number of alkaline earth metals is typically +2. This is because they have two valence electrons, which they tend to lose to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Can metals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Yes, metals can have positive oxidation numbers when they lose electrons to form cations. However, metals typically do not have negative oxidation numbers since they usually do not gain electrons to form anions.
What is the oxidation number of non metals?
The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.
Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
What are the oxidation numbers of the chemical families?
The oxidation numbers of the elements in Group 1 (Alkali metals) are typically +1, in Group 2 (Alkaline earth metals) are typically +2, in Group 17 (Halogens) are typically -1, and in Group 18 (Noble gases) are typically 0 as they rarely form compounds.
How do you use combining ratios to distinguish the alkali metals from the alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals have a +1 oxidation state and form compounds with a 1:1 ratio of metal to other element, while alkaline earth metals have a +2 oxidation state and form compounds with a 1:2 ratio. By analyzing the stoichiometry of compounds formed with these metals, you can distinguish between alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
