You practically said the same thing, so yes.


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.


Is oxidation and tarnish the same thing?

Tarnish is the oxidation of silver, so yes.


Why do oxygen and sulfur have the same oxidation numbers?

Because they have the same number of valence electrons


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)

Rapid oxidation is a fire. Its burning. The oxygen reacts with the substance very quickly in a fire. Slow oxidation is rusting. Rust happens very slowly but its the same chemical reaction.


Oxidation and oxygenation are the same process and the terms can be used interchangabel?

How does the element iron start a fire?

Oxidation process causes rusting in Iron. Oxidation is the same process when Oxygen combines with Hydrogen to form Water and Carbon dioxide.


In the compound Fe2O3 irons oxidation number is while oxygens oxidation number is 2?

The oxidation number of iron in this compound is 3. The oxidation numbers of the total oxygen atoms and the total iron atoms must be the same in a neutral compound. There are three oxygen atoms, giving a total for oxygen of 3 X 2 = 6. There are only two iron atoms; therefore, each one must have an oxidation number of 6/2 = 3.
