Oxidation numbers are a characteristic of individual atoms within a molecule, not of the molecule itself. In fluoromethane, the compound given by formula in the problem statement, carbon is assigned an oxidation number of +4 and each hydrogen or fluorine atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1. Note, however, that the compound is covalently bonded, so that these oxidization numbers do not represent complete transfer of electrons from the carbon atom to the other atoms.

What is the oxidation number for CH3F?
H is +1, F is -1, therefore C is -2 ( the sum of the oxidation numbers of the elemnts in an electronically neutral atom is defined as zero)
What is the oxidation number for CH2Cl2?
In CH3F H is +1 (this is not a bond to a reactive metal), F is -1 (F is alway -1 in its compounds), and C is then has the balancing -2, as overall the sum of the atomic oxidation numbers in a molecule is zero.
What is the oxidation number of IF?
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
What is the oxidation number of zns?
Zn has oxidation number +2; S has oxidation number -2
What is the oxidation number of H2O2?
The oxidation number for H is +1, and the oxidation number for O is -1.
