S3.1 Periodic table (3) - oxidation states
This is the third section on the periodic table and focuses on how to deduce the oxidation state of an atom in an ion or in its compounds and in its elemental state. The difference between oxidation state and oxidation number is explained and their use in naming and giving the formulas of binary ionic compounds explored. How does the periodic table help us to predict patterns and trends in the properties of elements....
