well Scandium has 4s2 and 3d1 outer electrons - all the way up to copper with 4s1 3d10 and Manganese 4s2 3d5 so Scandium is pretty much limited to +3 though other states are rarely possible but Manganese can have +2 with just the s electrons removed all the way to +7 with all removed. There are just more opportunities with transition elements because of the arrangement of bonding electrons and it being energetically feasible to remove them
In chemistry, the oxidation state is a number assigned to an element as an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound."The charge an element would have if it were an ion "Oxidation state is the same as the oxidation number. It is an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
Sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 in SO3^2-. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2.
In Mg2P2O7, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +5, and oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. The sum of the oxidation states for each element in the compound must equal zero due to its neutrality.
The highest oxidation state ever achieved by an element is +8. This oxidation state can be found in 3 elements: Osmium, Ruthenium and Xenon.The synthetic element Hassium is also expected to have this oxidation state.
It is determined from known oxidation states of other elements.
The oxidation state of calcium is +2.
The element with the lowest oxidation state on the periodic table is Francium.
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
the oxidation number is 0
Vanadium is an element that commonly exhibits an oxidation state of +5.
Mercury's most common oxidation state is +2
Hydrogen is an element that can have an oxidation state of -1 when it is part of a hydride ion, such as in lithium hydride (LiH).
Oxidation state of any element in its elemental state is 0
In these reaction, an element simultaneously undergoes oxidation as well as reduction. This is possible only when the element exhibits minimum three different oxidation states and on the reactant side, it is present in an intermediate oxidation state while higher and lower oxidation states are exhibited by it in the form of products.
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
Calcium (Ca) typically has an oxidation state of +2.
