Match each element in the left column with its most likely oxidation state in a compound in the right column. (Based on the elements location in the periodic table.)
__Magnesium A. +1
__Aluminum B. +2
__Oxygen C. +3
__Chlorine D. 0
__Potassium E. -1
__Barium F. -2
__Nitrogen G. -3
__Sulfur H. +4/-4
__Flourine
__Strontium
__Carbon
__Arsenic
These are based on electroning configuration (by loosing or gaining attains the octet configuration). Also can be realized by looking the periodic table
