Question

What is the charge of group 4 elements?

Answer 1

Group 4:

It is the second group of transition metals which is also known as the Titanium family. The elements of Group 4 are Titanium ($\mathrm{Ti}$), Zirconium ($\mathrm{Zr}$), Hafnium ($\mathrm{Hf}$), and Rutherfordium ($\mathrm{Rf}$).

The charge of group 4 elements is shown below:

1. There are $+3$ and $+4$oxidation state with ${\mathrm{ns}}^2\left(\mathrm{n}-1\right){\mathrm{d}}^2$.
2. Titanium has $+3$ oxidation state but Zirconium and Hafnium have $+4$ oxidation state.
3. These elements have $+4$ charge which is electropositive.
