What is the oxidation state for 2I-?
The oxidation state of iron in two moles or atoms of elemental iron is zero. If you mean iron (II), the oxidation state is +2.
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
The oxidation number of an atom is shown with a negative number?
negative numbers --go to the discussion spot and it will help you. :)
Why do nonmetals have a negative oxidation number?
non metals accept electrons. Hence they show a negative oxidation number (negative denotes that the element accepts electrons)
Why do elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number?
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.

What is the oxidation numbers for O?
O standing for oxygen can have multiple oxidation numbers depending on what it is bonded to, in most cases it has a negative 2 oxidation number but in certain cases like peroxides it can have a negative 1 oxidation state.

Does an element that loses electrons when bonding with other atoms have a negative oxidation number?
No. The lower (or 'more negative') the oxidation number, the more electrons the atom has. This is because the oxidation number is a measure of the charge on that molecule and, since electrons have negative charge, more of them give a more negative oxidation number. So if an atom loses electrons during bonding, it has lost some of its negative charge - giving it a more positive oxidation number.
What is the oxidation of bromin?
Bromine has an oxidation number of negative one, except when with oxygen or flourine.
Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
What is the oxidation number F negative 1?
The oxidation number of the ion F1- is -1.
