The hydrogen atoms are each in the 1+ oxidation state. The oxygen is in it's 2- oxidation state.
In a combustion reaction, the oxidation number of hydrogen in water is +1 and the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. The oxidation number of an element in a compound represents the charge it would have if all shared electrons were assigned to the more electronegative element.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in the compound H2O (water) is -2. Hydrogen typically has an oxidation number of +1 in compounds, so the two hydrogen atoms in water have a combined oxidation number of +2. Since the overall charge of the compound is neutral, the oxidation number of oxygen must be -2 to balance out the charge.
Contemporary science does not consider water to be an element.
No, it is a mixture of a number of different compound. Water itself is a compound. Ocean water is not pure water though.
As a diatomic element, it would be neutral and = 0Refer to this site for other rules:http://www.brynmawr.edu/Acads/Chem/Chem103lc/GCoxidationnumber.htmlThe oxidation number of NO, nitrogen oxide, is +2.
Water is a compound. it is neither element nor mixture.

Oxidation number is the charge per atom in a compound. Cl2= 2- (Cl= 1-) Cu would have to be 2+ to balance the compound, because there is only one copper atom.
