Why do nonmetals have a negative oxidation number?
non metals accept electrons. Hence they show a negative oxidation number (negative denotes that the element accepts electrons)
What is the oxidation number of hydrogen in the compound NH3?
The assumed oxidation number of nitrogen in ammonia (3+) in this question, is wrongly signed:The correct oxidation number if nitrogen in NITRIDES (like in ammonia NH3, ammonium NH4+ and amino groups -NH2) is minus 3, so hydrogen has oxidation value of plus 1(one, like in H+) which is in fact the only possible form when attached to nonmetals.
What is the oxidation number of group 14 elements?
-4 for nonmetals and +4 for metals
What is the oxidation number of IF?
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
Can nonmetals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Yes. For example, chlorine in compounds can have the following oxidation states: -1 (most common), +1, +3, +5, and +7.

Does metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
NONMETALS
