What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?

A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.


Can metals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?

Does oxidation numbers take into account stoicheometery?

The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.
