How do you know which oxidation to use in a bond when it has multiple oxidation numbers?
You can determine the correct oxidation number to use by balancing the overall charge of the compound. Additionally, consider the electronegativity of the elements involved in the bond to determine the more likely oxidation state. In some cases, experimental data or rules of thumb based on common oxidation states for specific elements may also help in deciding the correct oxidation number to use.

What useful functions do oxidation numbers serve?
Oxidation numbers help determine the amount of electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared in a compound. They are useful for balancing chemical equations, predicting the reactivity of elements, and identifying the type of chemical bond present (ionic or covalent). Additionally, oxidation numbers play a crucial role in understanding redox reactions and determining the oxidation state of elements in compounds.
How do you assign oxidation numbers fo scn?
To assign oxidation numbers for SCN-, first we assign oxidation number x to S. Then, we know that the overall charge of SCN- is -1, and N is -3 in most cases. By summing up the oxidation numbers (-1), we can solve for x as +2.
Can the oxidation number of an element in a compound be a fraction?
No. it can't be fractional. However you can get fractional answers uch as Fe in Fe3O4 where the average oxidation state is 2.666.... You need to know something about the structure that will tell you what oxidation numbers of the Fe in this case two Fe with +3 and one Fe with +2 in each formula unit.
What is the oxidation number of S in H2 S?
+8.H2 has an oxidation of +1 (A total of +2)O5 has an oxidation of -2 (A total of -10).We do not know anything about the oxidation of S, so since we know H2SO5 isn't a complex ion, we can assume the overall oxidation number is 0.Therefore, the oxidation number of S = Oxidation of O5 - Oxidation number of H2.Since 10 - 2 = 8, Oxidation number of S is 8.(no, it did not)Sorry,Sulphur cannot have more than +6 oxidation number as it belongs to VI(A) group.In H2SO5, one peroxide bond is present. i.e., the oxidation number of 2 oxygen atoms is -2. (Compare hydrogen peroxide, H2O2)2 atoms of oxygen will get -1 oxidation number each. The remaining 3 atoms will have +2 oxidation number each. This is a special case. Oxidation number of each hydrogen atom is +1 only.So, finally the oxidation number of Sulphur is +6. [(+2)+(+6)+(-8) = 0]Hope you got it. (yes, it did so)
How do you prove the oxidation number of P is -3?
I don't know if this is what you mean but, you know phosphorus will have an oxidation number of -3 because it has 5 valance electrons. For phosphorus to become stable it needs to gain 3 electrons. This adds 3 negative charges to it and gives it the -3 charge.

How can oxidation numbers help chemists?
Oxidation numbers allow us to follow which species is being oxidised and which is being reduced. That way, we know which reactions are occurring and what the result will be.
Why do you need to know the oxidation number of the elements?
because if you know the oxidation numbers of all the reactants and products in a given reaction, you can determine which, if any, of the reactants were oxidized and which were reduced. oxidized is when the oxidation number increases, reduced is when the oxidation number decreases.
What numbers are multiple to three?

What numbers are multilples of one?
Every single number know-to-man is a multiple of one.
If you know that two numbers are relatively prime can you predict what the least common multiple will be?
The least common multiple of two numbers is the product of those two numbers, divided by the greatest common factor of those two numbers. Two numbers that are relatively prime have a greatest common factor of 1. So, when the two numbers are relatively prime, the least common multiple is the product of both numbers divided by 1. So, when two numbers are relatively prime, the least common multiple is the product of the two numbers.this is wron
