Want this question answered?
It is equal to the charge. Oxidation number depends on charge.
oxidation number ^o.o^
In most cases it is the value of its charge, but not always.
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
Yes. it is
No: An oxidation number, if shown at all in a chemical formula, is shown with a superscript. The oxidation number is usually shown only for monatomic ions.
It is equal to the charge. Oxidation number is equal to -2.
It is equal to the charge. So Oxidation number is +1
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.
Ferrous has positive two charge. So the Oxidation number is equal charge.
The compound has no charge. This means that the positive oxidation numbers must equal the negative oxidation numbers. Cl has an oxidation number of -1. Therefore, Zn must have an oxidation number of +1.
