In a polyatomic ion the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms is equal to?
the charge on that ion
How is charge related to oxidation number?
the charge on a mono-atomic ion is the same as the oxidation number, for a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of its constituent elements.
In a polyatomic ion the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms equal to?
the charge on that ion
Why must oxidation numbers be assigned to the elements before writing a chemical formula?
The oxidation numbers of the elements in a chemical formula, some of which will be positive and others of which will be negative, when multiplied by the numbers of atoms with each oxidation number, must produce products that add to a net result of zero.
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers in the chromate ion?
There are two elements in this ion.Chromium shows +6 and oxygen shows +2.

What is the sum of the oxidation numbers in a molecule?
The sum of oxidation numbers in an uncharged molecule will be 0.For example, H2O has O2- and 2H+.1(-2) + 2(+1)=0The sum of oxidation numbers in a charged species will equal the charge.For example, HCO3- has H+, C4+, and 3O2-.1(+1) + 1(+4) + 3(-2) = -1
What is the oxidation number of MN in 2MnO4-?
I assume you mean the oxidation number of Mn in the permanganate ion , MnO4- The sum of the oxidation numbers is the charge on a polyatomic ion so Mn has an oxidation number of +7 as each O is assigned -2.
What is the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in the formula of a polyatomic ion?
In any neutral compound, this number must be zero.
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers for P2O5?
There are two oxidation numbers. P shows +5 oxidation number.
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound?
In a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms in the compound is zero.
Is an oxidation number the same as the type of ion formed?
The overall oxidation number of an ion is indeed the charge. Na+, sodium is +1 ON, Cl-, chlorine is -1 ON. For a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of the consituent atoms. For example NH4+ ; N is -3, H is +1 so overall ON is +1 same as the charge.
Sum of oxidation numbers charge in a compound?
sum will be zero
