No: An oxidation number, if shown at all in a chemical formula, is shown with a superscript. The oxidation number is usually shown only for monatomic ions.

Is the The oxidation number of an atom is shown with a subscript?

No, the oxidation number of an atom is typically written as a superscript, not a subscript. It is denoted next to the symbol of the atom to represent the charge that the atom carries in a compound or ion.


In which compound does chlorine have an oxidation number of plus 7?

Chlorine has an oxidation number of +7 in perchloric acid (HClO4).


Is the oxidation number the same as the subscript for unit formulas?

No, the oxidation number is a hypothetical charge assigned to an atom in a compound or ion based on a set of rules, while the subscript in a chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the compound. They serve different purposes in chemical notation.


The oxidation number of an atom is shown with a negative number?

No, the oxidation number of an atom is typically shown as a positive or negative number (or zero) that represents the charge it would have in a compound or ion. Positive oxidation numbers indicate loss of electrons, while negative oxidation numbers indicate gain of electrons.


what number represents the subscript in the formula shown?

The letter or letters that represent an element are called its atomic symbol. The numbers appearing as subscripts in the chemical formula indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. If no subscript appears, one atom of that element is present.

What is the subscript number for Plutonium?

If you think to the atomic number this is 94 for plutonium.


What is the cris cross method of aluminium and nitrogen?

The crisscross method uses the oxidation state (valence) of each element or ion. In this example, aluminum (Al) has an oxidation number of 3+. Nitrogen has an oxidation number of 3-. So, there really is no crisscross, because they are both the same, and they would combine to make aluminum nitride, AlN. If, however, you had aluminum, and nitrate ion (NO3^-), the crisscross would be to make the Al subscript a 1 and the NO3- subscript 3 to give Al(NO3)3.


What is the oxidation state of of Mn in the compound Mn2?
