Pb3O4 contains oxygen in the 2- oxidation state. and lead in the 2+ and 4+ oxidation states.
Oxidation states of elements in Iodate anion: Iodine = +5 Oxygen = -2
Oxygen is the element whose most common oxidation state is -2. In fact, it only shows oxidation states of +2,+1 in compounds OF2, O2F2. It is because oxygen is the second most electronegative element behind Fluorine.
FClO4 is the name of Fluorine perchlorate.Here Chlorine is in +7 oxidation state, Fluorine is in -1 oxidation state, 3 atoms of Oxygen (that are double bonded to Chlorine) are in -2 oxidation state, and the forth Oxygen atom (which is connected to Fluorine and Chlorine) is in 0 oxidation state.So, total charge = 7(of Chlorine) -1(of Fluorine) -(2 * 3)(of 3 Oxygen) +0(of Fourth Oxygen) = 0
Valence is how many bonds an atom can form. Oxidation number can be though of as being similar to the charge on an ion, and is based on the difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms. If something is bonded to a more electronegative element, its oxidation state is positive, and if it is with a less electronegative on the state is positive. In a neutral substance the sum of the oxidation states is always zero. Valence and oxidation states are related, though.Example: In formaldehyde (CH2O) hydrogen has a valence of 1, oxygen a valence of 2, and carbon a valence of 4. Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen, and less electronegative than oxygen. As a result, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation state of 1+ and the oxygen is in the 2- oxidation state. This puts carbon in an oxidation state of 0.
In compounds, magnesium has a +2 oxidation state; in most but not quite all compounds, oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. In peroxides, oxygen has a -1 oxidation state. In oxygen fluorides, oxygen has positive oxidation states.

O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in most of its compounds

No. HNO3 already has hydrogen and nitrogen in their highest possible oxidation states.
Their oxidation states have changed
Their oxidation states have changed
Usually the oxidation no of oxygen is -2 and the oxidation no of hydrogen is +1 in a compound.
