To find these answers you can just pull up the picture of the periodic table. The # of protons can be found at the top of the element, AKA, the atomic number. The group number is which column the element is in, there are 18 groups, counting from left to right. The valence electrons and oxidation are found similarly by which column they are in, each column is different so I would advise looking it up for each element. And lastly, the Ion that will form is found by finding the ionic charge of each element. I hope this helps. :)

Have a periodic table out! Group # are the ones on the top, # of protons is the atomic #, valence electrons corresponds with the ones digit on the group #, and oxidation # is the charge of the atom (positive on the left half, negative on the right half of the PT), then you just put the element and add the oxidation #!
