What is the used to determine the number of each atom in an ionic formula?
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
What oxidation state of carbon in graphite?
0 oxidation state
What is the oxidation number of carbon in CH3OH?
The oxidation state of carbon in CH3OH is 4
What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in rm CaCO 3?
in CaCO3 carbon is in the 4+ oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of N in CuCN?
Nitrogen's oxidation number is -4.Carbon's oxidation number is +3.The cyanide ion has -1 charge. Nitrogen is in -3 state. By balancing the charges: the oxidation number of carbon is +4.

2+
What is the oxidation state of the carbon atom in CaC2O4?
The oxidation state of Oxygen is -2 and that of Calcium is +2. There are four oxygen atoms which amounts to -8 charge. This leaves a charge of +6 on Carbon.
What is the relationship between magnesium and calcium?
Oxidation state: +2 Ionic charge: +2 Double hydroxided alkaline Metallic solid state Reactive with (hot) water or steam
What oxidation number?
'Oxidation number' and oxidation state are often used interchangeably. Oxidation state is a formal way of determining the degree of oxidation of an atom or ion or molecule; for ions the oxidation number is equal to the ionic charge. In non ionic compounds the most electronegative element is assumed to "own" the electrons. So in say InP which is a semiconductor and not ionic, the oxidation state of indium is +III and P is -III. Oxidation number is a convention used in complexes. Ligands are removed from the ion with all bonding electrons. Often the oxidation number and oxidation state have the same values but calculating the the oxidation number of N in ammonia, H is removed as hydride ion, H- you get the strange looking result of nitrogen with an oxidation number of +3. In contrast the oxidation states of N and H would be calculated as -III and +1
Can you explain the difference between the charge of an ion such as a charge of 2 for an O2 minus ion and the oxidation state of an atom such as the plus 4 oxidation state of carbon in CH4.?
Charge is exactly what it says, the number of positive or negative charges carried by a species, so as you say the oxide ion carries a charge of 2-. Oxidation state is a more general idea which helps us when thinking about redox. It is the charge which the atom would carry if the bond were ionic. Many bonds are not ionic, but covalent, yet one partner in the bond may be considered more positive and the other more negative. For instance, in the permanganate ion, MnO4- (where the 4 should be a subscript and the minus sign a superscript) the manganese is bonded with a lot of oxygen. If the internal bonds were ionic, the manganese would carry a charge of +7. In MnO2, it would only carry +4, so we say the manganese is less oxidised in MnO2. Oxidation state is the formal charge carried by an atom. It can be used for either ionic or covalent compounds and helps us to keep track of what electrons are doing in a reaction. If the compound contains only simple ions it's the same thing as the charge, but if we are looking at a covalent substance, (and remember that polyatomic ions like permanganate contain covalent bonds within them), then it's only an idea in our heads. Note that it's usual to put the sign first for an oxidation number and second for a charge. Thus we say the charge on an oxide ion is 2-, but it's in the -2 oxidation state.
What is the oxidation state of bromine in NaBr?
Bromine is in +5 oxidation state, oxygen is -2 and sodium is +1.
