The oxidation numbers of the elements in a chemical formula, some of which will be positive and others of which will be negative, when multiplied by the numbers of atoms with each oxidation number, must produce products that add to a net result of zero.
In a chemical compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms always balances out to zero. In a polyatomic ion the sum of the oxidation numbers is equal to the charge of the ion. Knowing the oxidation numbers of the atoms you can then figure out their relative numbers.
Oxidation numbers are used to keep track of how many electrons are gained or lost by each atom.

You think probable to the chemical formula of a molecule.
The chemical formula of guanine is C5H5N5O.
For the one oxidation state. HgNO3 for the two oxidation state. Hg(NO3)2
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate the way that elements are joined in the compound. Chemical formulas tell you the identity of the elements in the compound and the relative proportions of the elements.
There really isn't an exact chemical formula. Oxidation simply means the loss of an electron!
Rusting means the oxidation of iron. The chemical formula of rust is Fe2O3. Elements Fe and O are involved.
Oxidation
Formula: BrN Br in 3+ oxidation state

If you break down the chemical by it's elements and apply some simple rules, you can find the formula for a chemical compound.
You think probable to the chemical formula of a molecule.
Chemical Name = Oxygen Chemical Symbol = O There is no chemical formula for elements.
With the 2 oxidation state. NiCO3
It indicates the oxidation state.
No, elements are the makeups of chemical formulas. No, elements are the makeups of chemical formulas.
There is no chemical formula for a metal. Metals are elements, whose chemical symbols are on the periodic table of the elements.
