Conversely, early actinides such as uranium, neptunium, and plutonium can adopt a number of oxidation states from+3 to +7 while typically avoiding the +2 state.

Second, because the oxidation state of a carbon atom is not affected by bonds to other carbon atoms, the number of carbons in a molecule (nC) governs the range of possible values of .
