Oxidation numbers are very important in much of chemistry because many times atoms do lose or gain electrons. When this happens, they become ions.However, oxidation numbers are especially important when writing chemical formulas for ionic compounds.
zero, it equals zero
The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.

Incorrect. Square numbers are composite and have an odd number of factors.

No, the can only have positive 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
No, they can't only have positive oxidation numbers in compounds.
The simple answer is not always. The stoicheometry deals with oxidation numbers only in redox reactions. The ratio of the change in oxidation numbers is straightly its stoicheometry.
The compound has no charge. This means that the positive oxidation numbers must equal the negative oxidation numbers. Cl has an oxidation number of -1. Therefore, Zn must have an oxidation number of +1.
