Element analysis and oxidation numbers

For each compound, and where possible, a formal oxidation number for each element is given, but the usefulness of this number is limited, especially so for p-block elements in particular. Based upon that oxidation number, an electronic configuration is also given but note that for more exotic compounds you should view this as a guide only.

Element	%	Formal oxidation state	Formal electronic configuration
Cl	37.33	-1	[Ne].3s2.3p6
U	62.67	4	[Rn].5f2
