When assigning oxidation states, keep these point in mind   1. The oxidation state of any given element general depends on what other elements are present in the compound. (The exceptions are the group 1A and 2A metals, which are always +1 and +2, respectively.)  
🗑
(2)When assigning oxidation states, keep these point in mind   2. Rule 3 must always be followed. Therefore, when following the hierarchy shown in rule 5, give priority to the element(s) highest on the list and then assign the oxidation state of the element lowest on the list using rule 3.  
🗑
(3)When assigning oxidation states, keep these point in mind   3. When assigning oxidation states to elements that are not covered by rules 4 and 5(such as carbon), use rule 3 to deduce their oxidation state once all other oxidation states have been assigned.
