-1 for each Cl
+3 for N
The oxidation number of N in NCl3 is +3. This is because the oxidation number of Cl is -1, and there are three Cl atoms in NCl3, so the overall charge must be balanced by N having an oxidation number of +3.
The oxidation number of Cl in NCl3 is -1. Nitrogen typically has an oxidation number of -3 in nitrogen-containing compounds, so the overall charge of NCl3 must be 0, making the oxidation number of Cl -1.
In KMnO4, Mn has an oxidation number of +7, KNO2 has N with an oxidation number of +3, and H2SO4 has S with an oxidation number of +6. In MnSO4, Mn has an oxidation number of +2, H2O has O with an oxidation number of -2, KNO3 has N with an oxidation number of +5, and K2SO4 has S with an oxidation number of +6.
The oxidation number of hydrogen in NH3 is +1, and the oxidation number of nitrogen is -3. This is because hydrogen typically has an oxidation number of +1 and in compounds, nitrogen usually has an oxidation number of -3.
-2
The oxidation number of N in NCl3 is +3. This is because the oxidation number of Cl is -1, and there are three Cl atoms in NCl3, so the overall charge must be balanced by N having an oxidation number of +3.
The oxidation number of Cl in NCl3 is -1. Nitrogen typically has an oxidation number of -3 in nitrogen-containing compounds, so the overall charge of NCl3 must be 0, making the oxidation number of Cl -1.

The oxidation number of hydrogen in NH3 is +1, and the oxidation number of nitrogen is -3. This is because hydrogen typically has an oxidation number of +1 and in compounds, nitrogen usually has an oxidation number of -3.
Each of the hydrogen atoms in H2 has an oxidation number of 0.
The oxidation numbers of NON-metals can vary. Oxygen ; 1 or 2 Sulphur 2,4,6 Nitrogen ; 3, 5 Phosphorus ,3 or 5. The oxidation number of Transition metals can also vary. The oxidation number is the number of electrons in the valance(outermost) shell directly involved in bonding with another atom/element. Water at '-2' has two electrons involved in bonding, but there are 6 electrons in the valance shell. The other four remain as 'lone pairs', not involved in bonding. Similarly with the other elements.
-2
Usually, oxygen has an oxidation of -2 (that is unless in a compound with peroxides or halogens).
In the compound Al₂O₃, aluminum has an oxidation number of +3, and oxygen has an oxidation number of -2. This gives a total charge of zero for the compound, as it should be electrically neutral.
In K2MnF6, +1 for K, +4 for Mn and -1 for F In SbF5, +5 for Sb and -1 for F In KSbF6, +1 for K, +5 for Sb and -1 for F In MnF3, +3 for Mn and -1 for F In F2, 0 for F
An example is the ferric ion: Fe(III) or Fe3+.
oxidation number of S is +6.It oxidize into SO4 ^-2
