Oxidation states

The f-block elements, also known as the inner transition metals, have a partially filled f sublevel, which gives rise to a variety of oxidation states. The oxidation states exhibited by these elements can vary widely depending on the element and the specific compound. The most common oxidation state for f-block elements is +3, which is…

Oxidation states

Oxidation state is a measure of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound. It is represented by a positive or negative number, called the oxidation number, which reflects the number of electrons an atom has gained, lost or shared in forming a chemical bond with another atom. The oxidation state of…
