What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
SukainaAli
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.
Examples:
NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.
CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.

How can you find atomic number from oxidation number?
Atomic number is not related to oxidation number. If you want to find the atomic number of a particular element, all you have to do is find it on the periodic table of elements.
How can find the oxidation number for zn in znso4?
This is a neutral compound. Oxidation number of it is +2.
How you find the oxidation number?
For a neutral atom or compound, the oxidation number is always 0. For an ion, the overall oxidation number is its charge. If you need to find an oxidation number to a particular atom of a compound, there are two ways: working out the Lewis structures or balancing the charges.

What is the oxidation state of nitrogen in NH2OH?
This answer is -1.To find this answer:Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2.Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, and there are 3 of themyou want to get the oxidation numbers to add up to 0, so it would be neutral.-2 + 3(+1) = +1Now, to get this to equal zero, it means that N has to be -1.
