Explanation:

The highest possible state for the nonmetals is equal to the total number of electrons present in the valence (outermost) shell of the atom with a plus sign. Thus, the maximum oxidation states of nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine are +5 (as in HNO3), +6 (as in H2SO4) and +7 ( as in HClO4) respectively.

Answer:

Maximum oxidation state: +V Minimum oxidation state -III. This does have a general quantum chemical explanation. These oxidation States add up to eight, which is exactly the number of electrons that typically make up the outer (valence) shell - where chemistry happen.
