Oxidation states of p-block elements

In this video, we will see how oxidation states of p-block elements, in general, varies and differs from that of s-block elements and understand how oxidation state and valence electrons of an element are related. Timestamps 00:53 - Valence electrons of group-13 elements. 01:28 - Recap and general definition of 'Oxidation state'. 01:58 - How oxidation state and valence electrons are related. 04:15 - Multiple oxidation states of p-block elements and some of their examples. 06:06 - Special case!
