In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-
0 in elemental form and 2+ in its compounds.
Minimum oxidation number: -1 Maximum oxidation number: 1 Min. common oxidation no.: 0 Max. common oxidation no.: 1 I got this of a really cool website that has alot of infromation and useful facts about each element and trust me you'll use it a lot in chemistry. www.chemicool.com
Copper: 2+Oxygen: 2-Nitrogen: 5+
Group 2 of the periodic table is the alkaline earth metals, and each and every one has two valence electrons. Further, each of these elements will seek to form bonds where it can loan out those two electrons. These metals are said to have a +2 oxidation state, and though the might also have another oxidation state under certain conditions, it is the +2 oxidation state that dominates the chemistry of beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra), which comprise all the Group 2 metals.

There are three elements, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Carbon's oxidation number is -4, each hydrogen is +1 and oxygen is +2.
In NaBrO3 the oxidation state of sodium (Na) is 1+, the oxidation state of bromine is 5+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen atom is 2-
The hydrogen atoms are each in the 1+ oxidation state. The oxygen is in it's 2- oxidation state.
It contains only two elements. N shows +1 and oxygen shows -2.
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
Na2S2O3 oxidation number
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.

To calculate the oxidation state of fluorine in O2F2, first draw a diagram of the molecule: F-O-O-F Determine the most electronegative atom(s), which are fluorines -- the most electronegative atom there is. Being in the group 7A, a fluoride ion would gain an electron to a -1 charge, so each has an oxidation number of -1. The oxygens, therefore, have an oxidation number of +1 each.
This compound is not possible, but if it had been, the oxygen should have oxidation state of -4
For any element before reaction, its oxidation number is 0. Molecules made from the atoms of the same element have 0 oxidation state in each atom. Examples are gaseous hydrogen and liquid bromine.
