How is charge related to oxidation number?
the charge on a mono-atomic ion is the same as the oxidation number, for a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of its constituent elements.
Is oxidation number the same as the charge?
Yes, the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion.
What is the oxidation number of an ion?
Whatever the charge on that ion is.
What is the oxidation number of a mercury I ion?
It is equal to the charge. So Oxidation number is +1
What is the oxidation number of an Aluminum ion?
Whatever the charge on that ion is.

What is The charge of a monatomic ion called?
Oxidation Number
With monatomic species what does the oxidation number indicate?
The charge. Cations and anions have an oxidation number equal to their charge, for example in Fe2+, Fe hasan oxidation number of +2 and in S2- S has an oxidation number of -2. Uncharged atoms have zero oxidation number.
Oxidation number of Cl?
Pure element has zero oxidation number. When forming ions it is equal the charge of ion.
Oxidation number of nitrogen?
Pure element has zero oxidation number. When forming ions it is equal the charge of ion.
What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
