The oxidation number illustrates the number of electrons that a particular atom has partially/completely donated/accepted. +2 stands for donation of two electrons such as magnesium in magnesium salts. The oxidation number of -2 stands for obtaining two electrons such as an oxygen atom in an oxide.

Why is the oxidation number of zinc 2 plus?
Oxidation number is +2 for Zn+2 ion
What is the new oxidation number for cr2o7-2 plus 8h plus 3so3-2 2cr3 plus 3sov-2 plus 4h20?
oxidation number of S is +6.It oxidize into SO4 ^-2
Why there is a plus 2 in oxidation number in carbon?
Carbon has +2 oxidation number in Carbon monoxide. It gets this oxidation number when it loses or shares two electrons.
In the compound H2 S hydrogen has an oxidation number of 1 plus and sulfur has an oxidation number of?
2-
In the following compound al2o3 aluminums oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is?

Why there is a plus 2 in oxidation number in carbon?
Carbon has +2 oxidation number in Carbon monoxide. It gets this oxidation number when it loses or shares two electrons.
What do the oxidation number 2 imply?
The oxidation number of a chemical tells how many electrons it will gain or lose in a reaction. A positive oxidation number means that it will lose electrons, and a negative means it will gain them. A chemical with an oxidation number of 2+ would usually lose 2 electrons in a reaction.All of the Alkali earth metals (second column of the periodic table) have an oxidation number of 2+.
In the compound H2 S hydrogen has an oxidation number of 1 plus and sulfur has an oxidation number of?
2-
In the following compound al2o3 aluminums oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is?
-2
What is the change in oxidation number of the reduced species in the reaction shown below 4zn plus no3- 6h2o plus 7oh- 4znoh42- plus nh3?
The oxidation number of zinc (Zn) in Zn(NO3)2 is +2, while in Zn(OH)4^2-, it is also +2. Therefore, there is no change in the oxidation number of zinc.
In the compound Fe2O3 iron's oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is .?
Usually, oxygen has an oxidation of -2 (that is unless in a compound with peroxides or halogens).
Why do elements in group 2 have an oxidation number of plus 2?
Because there in group 2
