How does the oxidation number indicate if an electron will be lost or gained?
If an atom loses electron, then it will have a positive oxidation number. If an atom gains electron, then it will have a negative oxidation number.
Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
All metals have positive oxidation numbers. Non-metals may have positive or negative oxidation numbers and some metalloids have both positive and negative oxidation numbers as well
Can metals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, they can't only have positive oxidation numbers in compounds.
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.
The oxidation number of an atom is shown with a negative number?
negative numbers --go to the discussion spot and it will help you. :)

Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
What is the oxidation nu?
Oxidation number is oxidation states of an element. It can be positive or negative.

Which particle proton neutron or electron have a positive charge?
proton positive neutron neutral electron negative
What is a positive oxidation number?
Positive oxidation number implies that electrons are generally lost by the element.
Does positron have a negative charge?
A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name. A positron is an anti-electron; since the electron has a negative charge, the positron has a positive charge.A POSITron has a POSITive charge, hence the name.

What subatomic particle are charged?
These particles are: neutron (positive) and electron (negative).
