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.

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.

How many atoms are in C8H16?

24: The answer to the number of atoms present in a formula that does not include parentheses is always the sum of all the subscript numbers in the formula plus one for each type of atom shown without a subscript. If the formula does contain parentheses, all the subscript numbers inside the parentheses should be multiplied by the subscript number after the closing parenthesis itself before the sum of all subscripts is taken.


Oxidation numbers for H2PO4-?

In H2PO4-, oxygen has the formal oxidation number -2, phosphorus has the formal oxidation number +5, and hydrogen has the formal oxidation number +1. The formal oxidation numbers for oxygen in almost all oxyanions and for hydrogen in almost all acid anions have these values, so that the remaining element can be assigned a formal oxidation number by the requirement of satisfying the total electrical charge if any shown in the formula.


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.
