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 FeSO4?

0 because all compounds have an oxidation number of 0. It's the ions (fe S O) that have oxidation numbers, The sum of these oxidation numbers always = 0 in a compound and hence a compound has a oxidation number of 0. :-) hope this helped....
