What is the most common oxidation number for group three on the periodic table?
Generally third A group elements in the periodic table exhibit +3 oxidation state but Boron exhibit negative oxidation state also . The stable oxidation state of Tl is +1. It exhibit +3 also but +1 is more stable than +3. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID N091528
