Group 18 or noble gases
0- any element by itself has an oxidation number of 0.
Magnesium is in the group 2. 0 is the lowest oxidation number for it.
The oxidation number of K in KAuCl4 is +1, as it belongs to group 1 elements. The oxidation number of Au in KAuCl4 is +3, as the overall charge on the compound is 0 and the chlorine atoms have an oxidation number of -1 each.
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1, group 2 elements have an oxidation number of +2, group 17 elements have an oxidation number of -1, and group 18 elements (noble gases) have zero oxidation number since they are chemically unreactive.
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.
Noble gas have 0 Oxidation number. That's because they do not form ions.
0- any element by itself has an oxidation number of 0.

This is a compound. Compounds don't have oxidation numbers, only their constituent elements do. If you must have an answer, use 0.
To determine the oxidation number for Co in CoCl3, we need to consider that the overall charge of CoCl3 is 0 and Cl has an oxidation number of -1. By setting up an equation (x + 3(-1) = 0) where x is the oxidation number for Co, we find that Co has an oxidation number of +3 in CoCl3.
the oxidation number is from 0 to 2+
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
Xe when it is not in a compound has an oxidation number of 0
