The fundamental property of matter that may be identified as positive or negative is?
electric charge
Is electrical conductivity a physical or chemical property of matter?
Physical, positive and negative ions clash.
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.

Negative one times any number is equal to the opposite of that number.Negative one times negative one is positive one. -from wikipedia
What causes oxidation numbers?
Oxidation is a process of loss of electron(s) from an element or ion. After the lose of electron, the element becomes positively charged or if an undergoes oxidation then its positive charge is increased. For instance Sodium metal has 11 electrons and it can easily lose one electron (removing another electron is so difficult and it needs high energy) and becomes Na(+) ion. So its oxidation number is one.Hence, oxidation number refers number of electrons lost by an ion or element.Reverse of oxidation is called reduction or gain of electrons by an element or ion, in which the oxidation number is decreased. So in reduction process oxidation number is decreased.Oxidation number may be positive or negative for ions and it must be zero for an element. If it is positive then the ion is called cation and if negative then the ion is known as anion. It entirely depends on the property of losing or gaining of electrons by an element or ion.By,Dr M Kanagasabapathy Ph D,Asst.

What one is chemical property oxidation reduction electrolysis all are correct?
Oxidation and reduction are chemical properties. Electrolysis is a chemical process, not a property.
