Answer 1

oxidation states +2, +3

The oxidation number (oxidation state) describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) or reduction (gain of electrons) in a particular atom when it is present in a chemical compound. This is a positive or negative integer value, with the pure element in its standard state assigned a number of zero. Any positive oxidation number represents some degree of oxidation in that atom, while a negative number represents some degree of reduction.
