What is the oxidation number of P?
Phosphorous, or P, has a zero oxidation number in the element. Common oxidation numbers are:- It has a -3 in phosphides, where it forms the P3- ion It has a +3 in oxidation number in for example P4O6, and PCl3 It has a +5 oxidation number in for example P4O10 and PCl5
Can the oxidation number of an element change?
Yes, it can. When the element loses electron, the oxidation number increases and when it gains electron, the oxidation number decreases.
Which element has largest oxidation number?
Manganese is a metal element. It shows the largest oxidation number.
Which element has an oxidation number plus 3?
An example is the ferric ion: Fe(III) or Fe3+.
What is the oxidation number of a free element?
Oxidation number of a free element is 0. Ex: Ag 2= 0

What does the oxidation number of an element tell you?
The oxidation number tells you the "combining power" of that element. For example, if Cu has a 1+ oxidation number then it will combine with Cl in a 1:1 ratio, and result in CuCl. If Cu has an oxidation number of 2+, then it will combine with Cl in a 1:2 ratio, and result in CuCl2.

What is the oxidation nu?
Oxidation number is oxidation states of an element. It can be positive or negative.
What is neon's element oxidation state?
the oxidation number is 0
How does the oxidation number change when an element is oxidized?
Oxidation means there's an increase in oxidation number. Reduction means there's a decrease in oxidation number.
An element that may have an oxidation number of 4 or 4?
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
What is the oxidation number of a molecular element?
The oxidation number of anything in elemental form is zero.
What is the oxidation number for the f element?
In compounds fluorine, F, has an oxidation number of -1.
