Is oxidation number the same as common ions?
No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.
Is oxidation number the same as the charge?
Yes, the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion.
What is the oxidation number for 5O2?
Atomic oxygen has oxidation number 0. Molecular oxygen also has 0 as oxidation number. It would be the same for five oxygen molecules as well.
Which element has the same oxidation number in all of its known compounds?
Any individual atom has an oxidation number of 0.
How is charge related to oxidation number?
the charge on a mono-atomic ion is the same as the oxidation number, for a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of its constituent elements.
Is oxidation number the same as common ions?
No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.
Is oxidation number the same as the charge?
Yes, the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion.
Is phosphate and phosphorus the same in fertilizer?
Phosphate is a chemical group with the formula R3PO4 where R represents a generally reduced chemical group such as a methyl group or a Hydrogen atom for covalent Phosphate compounds and PO4(-3) for the Phosphate anion with 4 Oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a central Phosphorus atom with 3 negatively charged electrons shared between the four Oxygen atoms. Phosphide is an anion where Phosphorus has three electrons bound to it. It is an extremely strong base in contrast to Phosphate which is a significantly weaker base. Phosphide is also a very strong reducing agent.
What is the oxidation number for 5O2?
Atomic oxygen has oxidation number 0. Molecular oxygen also has 0 as oxidation number. It would be the same for five oxygen molecules as well.
What is the chemical symbol for Magnesium Phosphide?
I think it is the same "Magnesium phosphide"
Which element has the same oxidation number in all of its known compounds?
Any individual atom has an oxidation number of 0.
How is charge related to oxidation number?

What is the oxidation number of oxygen in carbon suboxide?
carbon suboxide C3O2 OCCCO. The oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -2 same as normal, (only when O is bonded to O as in peroxides is the oxidation number not -2)
What is the oxidation number for Mn in the formula H2MnO3?
MnO2 manganese(IV) oxide. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state (oxidation state is a better term here as oxidation number is better used for complexes- they give the same answer for this compound)
Oxidation number is the same as?
The oxidation number is the same as the charge that the atom has. If the atom usually loses an electron, then it is losing a negative charge and having more positive making it a + 1. If the atom loses two electrons, then the oxidation number would be +2. The same thing with gaining electrons, then there would be more negative charges then positive. If the atom gains one electron, then the oxidation number would be - 1. If the atom gains two electrons, then the oxidation number would be - 2. I hope that this was helpful.
What is the oxidation number for F2?
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.
Why do oxygen and sulfur have the same oxidation numbers?
Because they have the same number of valence electrons
