Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4.
No element has oxidation state of +4.
Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
Carbon (think carbide)
Carbon is a pblock element. It shows -4 to +4 oxidation numbers.
4 ecause it is a comustion
Zn is a d block element. Oxidation number of it is +2.
The oxidation number of an element depend on another element it react with to form a compound e.g manganese(iv)oxide mno4 the oxidation number of oxygen there is four while the oxidation number of manganse is 7 in most radox reaction the oxidation number of oxygen is usually 4 when writing the full equation

In chemistry, the oxidation state is a number assigned to an element as an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound."The charge an element would have if it were an ion "Oxidation state is the same as the oxidation number. It is an indicator of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
-2 for oxygen and +1 for each nitrogen
-2 for each Oxygen +4 for each Carbon
Oxidation number of MN is +4. Oxidation number of Oxygen is -2
-2 for each O +4 for S
NO2 is a acidic gas. Nitrogen shows +4 oxidation number.
