pretty much that is correct. although lead (Pb) is and example of of a +2 or +4 element and Arsenic (As) is a +3 or +5 element

What is the most common oxidation number for group three on the periodic table?

Generally third A group elements in the periodic table exhibit +3 oxidation state but Boron exhibit negative oxidation state also . The stable oxidation state of Tl is +1. It exhibit +3 also but +1 is more stable than +3. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID N091528


What is the common oxidation number for all elements in group 17 of the periodic table?

-1.


Which is negative oxidation state in 13 group elements?

The most common negative oxidation state in Group 13 elements is -3. This is particularly seen in compounds where these elements form three bonds with more electronegative species.


What are the most common oxidation valence number in periodic table?

The most common oxidation states in the periodic table are +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3. These oxidation states are frequently observed in elements based on their position in the periodic table and their electron configuration.


How is the unknown oxidation state of an element within a compound determined?

The unknown oxidation state of an element in a compound can be determined by using a set of rules based on the known oxidation states of other elements in the compound. First, assign oxidation states to all known elements according to standard rules, such as those for group elements and common ions. Then, apply the principle that the sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound must equal zero or match the charge of a polyatomic ion. By solving the resulting equation, the unknown oxidation state can be deduced.

Do elements in the s or p block generally have one common oxidation number?

No, this is not the case. Firstly, a simple substance (pure element) always has oxidation number 0. Then there is the fact that when combining with an element more electronegative than the element in question it will tend to have a positive oxidation number while if the element is more electropositive it will tend to have a negative oxidation number.Nitrogen is a good example:-3 in NH3-2 in N2H4-1 in NH2OH0 in N2+1 in N2O+2 in NO+3 in NaNO2+4 in NO2+5 in HNO3Other elements are not as versatile as nitrogen, but a typical non-metal will show all odd or even oxidation numbers over a range of 8 units, as well as zero, while a typical metal will show all odd or even oxidation numbers between 0 and its valence.The elements that do show only one common oxidation number (other than zero) are all of the s-block elements and fluorine and oxygen.

What is oxidation number of transition elements?

The oxidation number of transition elements can vary because they have multiple oxidation states. Transition metals typically exhibit more than one oxidation state due to the presence of partially filled d orbitals, allowing them to lose a variable number of electrons. Common oxidation states for transition elements range from +1 to +7.
