How to determine the oxidation number in a chemical compound

In this video I am going to show the how to determine the oxidation number of a chemical compound. We will be able to see this schematically with the help of the periodic table.

The periodic table It distributes the elements in rows that are the periods and columns that are the groups. The main characteristic of the elements of the same group is that they have very similar properties and the same valence shell, that is, they have the same number of electrons in the outer shell. This will make it easier for us to know what the oxidation number of each compound.

In the video you will be able to understand better the periodic table to be able to find the oxidation numbers of chemical compounds. But if you are not sure you can continue practicing with problems of this type by doing the printable exercises with their solutions that I have left you on the web. Good luck in your studies!
