Oxygen is the element whose most common oxidation state is -2.
In fact, it only shows oxidation states of +2,+1 in compounds OF2, O2F2.
It is because oxygen is the second most electronegative element behind Fluorine.
For oxygen yes, but for most other elements, no. Since most elements are metals, they will have positive oxidation states.
Oxygen(in Oxide ion), is the most commonly found element with - 2 oxidation state
Copper, Cobalt, Nickel, Lead, etc.
oxygen
Most common oxidation state of Gold is 0, because its most common form is its elementary form.
the most common oxidation state of chlorine is -1.
The most common oxidation states for Platinum is +2 and +4.
The most common oxidation state for chlorine is 1- (negative one).
Zinc is in oxidation state +2 and oxygen in oxidation state -2. Zinc Oxide itself has not net charge/oxidation state.
There are no such metals whose common oxidation state is -2
Most common oxidation state of Gold is 0, because its most common form is its elementary form.
the most common oxidation state of chlorine is -1.
The oxidation state is 1.
Mercury's most common oxidation state is +2
Most common oxidation state of Helium is 0, in which it is in elementary and unreacted form
The most common oxidation states for Platinum is +2 and +4.
The most common oxidation state for chlorine is 1- (negative one).
+4 is the most common
The most common are 0 and 3+.
-1, 0, 1, 3 and 5 oxidation states The most common is 0 (its unreacted state)
