Explain why an element's oxidation number is related to the group on the periodic tale to which it belongs?

Answer 1

It determines its place in reactivity. Usually gasesous elements are the electron recipients, except when it's gaseous-to-gaseous reactions (like combustion which turns a hydrocarbon into carbon dioxide and water vapor) while the metals generally are the donors. A case in point is HCl and NaOH make NaCl in a aqueous solution.

Answer 2

An element's oxidation number is related to the group on the Periodic Table because elements in the same group have similar chemical properties and tend to form ions with the same charge. This is due to the number of valence electrons an element has, which determines how likely it is to lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Elements in the same group typically have the same number of valence electrons, leading to similar oxidation states.

Answer 3

Group numbers inform about the outer shell of electrons on an element. This is the notable information in regards to oxidation numbers.

Answer 4

Bcz. the group number tells you about the outer shell electrons and whether loosing or accepting electrons will occur which represent the oxidation number.

Answer 5

Some elements shows many numbers. They change it when Emit electrons.
