No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.

Do phosphate and phosphide have the same oxidation number?

NO!!! Phosphates it is '+5' Phosphides it is '-3'


What is the oxidation number of any monoatomic ions?

The oxidation number of any monoatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion. For example, the oxidation number of the sodium ion (Na+) is +1, and the oxidation number of the chloride ion (Cl-) is -1.


Is the valency of an element same as its oxidation number?

Sometimes yes ... sometimes no. Valency of chlorine is 7 ... it has 7 valence electrons. But its most common oxidation number is -1.


What is the oxidation number charge of the ion?

The oxidation number of monoatomic ions is the same as their ion charge: +2 in Fe(II) for Fe2+, +3 in Fe(III) for Fe3+, -2 in sulfide S2-


What is the oxidation number of halide ions?

Fluorine: -1 Chlorine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Bromine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 Iodine: -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 The normal oxidation state of halides is -1, but with, for example, chlorine other oxidation states exist. Hypochlorites (+1), Chlorites (+3), Chlorates (+5), Perchlorates (+7). The same is true for all halogens, with the exception of fluorine, that seems to like it's -1 status and won't form fluorates.


What is oxidation number of k k2so4?

the oxidation number of each K is +1. But there are two K's so 1*2 is +2. the charge on the molecule has to equal 0, so the oxidation number of the S must be -2.


Do all elements in a group have the same oxidation numbers?

There is at least one oxidation number shared by all the elements in a periodic table column, but some of the elements may have more than one oxidation number and some of these additional oxidation numbers may not be possible for all the elements in a column.


What' is oxidation number?

'Oxidation number' and oxidation state are often used interchangeably. Oxidation state is a formal way of determining the degree of oxidation of an atom or ion or molecule; for ions the oxidation number is equal to the ionic charge. In non ionic compounds the most electronegative element is assumed to "own" the electrons. So in say InP which is a semiconductor and not ionic, the oxidation state of indium is +III and P is -III. Oxidation number is a convention used in complexes. Ligands are removed from the ion with all bonding electrons. Often the oxidation number and oxidation state have the same values but calculating the the oxidation number of N in ammonia, H is removed as hydride ion, H- you get the strange looking result of nitrogen with an oxidation number of +3. In contrast the oxidation states of N and H would be calculated as -III and +1

Which element increases its oxidation number in this reaction 3koh h3po4 k3po4 3h2o?

Phosphorus increases its oxidation number in this reaction. In H3PO4, phosphorus has an oxidation number of +5, and in K3PO4, it has an oxidation number of +5 as well. This means that phosphorus's oxidation state remains the same throughout the reaction.


Which element has the same oxidation number in all of its known compounds?

The element which has the same oxidation number in all of its known compounds is fluorine. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1 in its compounds because it is the most electronegative element.


How is an elements most likely oxidation state related to its valence elections?

An element's most likely oxidation state is often related to its number of valence electrons. The oxidation state is typically the charge an atom assumes when it forms ions, and it tends to be the same as the number of valence electrons the atom gains or loses to achieve a stable electron configuration.
