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.
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.
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.
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.
Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.
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+
O.S. of Flourine = 0 O.N of cpd = 0
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
