Oxidation states are typically represented by integers which may be positive, zero, or negative. In some cases, the average oxidation state of an element is a fraction, such as 8 / 3 for iron in magnetite Fe 3 O 4 . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9, displayed by iridium in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO + 4). [1]
The oxidation states are also maintained in articles of the elements (of course), and systematically in the table {{Infobox element/symbol-to-oxidation-state}}
Like other transition metals, zirconium forms a wide range of inorganic compounds and coordination complexes. [36] In general, these compounds are colourless diamagnetic solids wherein zirconium has the oxidation state +4. Some organometallic compounds are considered to have Zr(II) oxidation state. [7]

The most prominent example of Mn in the +6 oxidation state is the green anion manganate, [MnO 4] 2−. Manganate salts are intermediates in the extraction of manganese from its ores. Compounds with oxidation states +5 are somewhat elusive, and often found associated to an oxide (O 2−) or nitride (N 3−) ligand. [29]
For example, compounds of vanadium are known in all oxidation states between −1, such as [V(CO) 6] −, and +5, such as VO 3− 4. Oxidation states of the transition metals. The solid dots show common oxidation states, and the hollow dots show possible but unlikely states. Main-group elements in groups 13 to 18 also exhibit multiple oxidation ...
The common oxidation states of rhodium are +3 and +1. Oxidation states 0, +2, and +4 are also well known. [27] A few complexes at still higher oxidation states are known. [28] The rhodium oxides include Rh 2 O 3, RhO 2, RhO 2 ·xH 2 O, Na 2 RhO 3, Sr 3 LiRhO 6 and Sr 3 NaRhO 6. [29] None are of technological significance.
Iron shows the characteristic chemical properties of the transition metals, namely the ability to form variable oxidation states differing by steps of one and a very large coordination and organometallic chemistry: indeed, it was the discovery of an iron compound, ferrocene, that revolutionalized the latter field in the 1950s.
