In PH₄⁺, the oxidation number of phosphorus (P) is +1 since hydrogen (H) typically has an oxidation number of +1 in compounds. Each hydrogen atom in PH₄⁺ contributes a +1 charge, so the total charge of the cation is +1.

Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
