Oxidation State And Chemical Reactivity

What is the Oxidation State for an Atom?

Oxidation state shows the level of oxidation for an atom in a chemical compound; it is the speculative charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of various elements were totally ionic. Oxidation states are regularly spoken to by whole numbers, which can be sure, negative, or zero. At times, the normal oxidation condition of an element is a part.

The most noteworthy realized oxidation state is +8 in the tetroxides of ruthenium, xenon, osmium, iridium, hassium, and some complexes including plutonium; the least realized oxidation state is −4 for certain elements in the carbon group.
