In compounds such as H2Se yes it is, and the oxidation number ofd -2 is well known. However there are many compounds where Se has other oxidation numbers (Se is very similar to Sulfur another group 16 elemnt) for example compounds where Se has an ox number of +4, SeF4, +6, SeF6, -1 in the polyselenide compound Na2Se2

What is the oxidation number of N?

The oxidation number of N, or Nitrogen, is N-3. Nitrogen is in group five, meaning it has five valence electrons. It needs to get eight to be stable. So it will gain 3 electrons to be stable. If you gain electrons, that makes it a negative number since electrons are negative in charge.
