Question

What are the oxidation state of the following elements silicon magnesium potassium titanium best I will follow, brainliest ,rate, and thank

Answer 1

Answer: hey mate hope it helps you

silicon : 0

Magnesium : +2

Potassium : +1

Titanium : -2

Explanation:

Elemental silicon has a formal oxidation state of 0 .

The oxidation state of magnesium in the compound is +2 (as magnesium is a member of the second group of the periodic table).

Potassium's oxidation number is +1, oxidation numbers are just hypothetical charges that an atom would have if the compound is ionic(This is not always the case),but it's useful for keeping track of electrons. In this case it means that the Potassium atom losses one electron when forming compounds.

oxidation state is the most stable. The chemistry of titanium in the +2 state is rather restricted.
