In anions that contain oxygen along with a less electronegative element, each oxygen atoms is assigned an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, a WO4-2 anion requires the tungsten atoms to have an oxidation number of +6, to result in the specified charge of the anion.
They do not. The group 2 elements, Be, Mg, Ca etc, have oxidation numbers of +2.
Hydrogen has -1 and +1 oxidation numbers. Other elements have +1 only
+2 for Mg and -2 for O
study island answer is +3 -2

Oxidation numbers in Fe2O3 are respectively: Fe => +3 and O => -2
+2 for Mg and -2 for O
Na2S2O3 oxidation number
study island answer is +3 -2

The sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for the compound.
Transition elements usually have more than one oxidation number. In different oxidation numbers, the ions show different colors. Some of the ranges: Cu from +1 to +2; Cr from +2 to +6; Ni from +2 to +3; Co from +2 to +3 and Mn from +2 to +7.
Common examples include many nonmetals as sulfur which bears oxidation numbers varying from -2 to +6 in forming compounds. In oxychlorides, the oxidation number of chlorine atom(s) vary from -1 to +7. Many transition elements also bear different oxidation numbers. Copper has two ions: Copper(I) which is colorless and Copper(II) which is pale blue.
This is a compound. Compounds don't have oxidation numbers, only their constituent elements do. If you must have an answer, use 0.
