+2. F is always -1
The oxidation number of oxygen in OF2 is 2.
2 2 -, to be exact.
The oxidation number of oxygen in OF2 is +2. Oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2, but in this case, since there are two fluorine atoms each with an oxidation number of -1, the oxidation number of oxygen must be +2 to balance the overall charge.
Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons and fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. In OF2, there are a total of 18 valence electrons (6 from oxygen and 2 x 7 from fluorine).
The oxidation number for H is +1, and the oxidation number for O is -1.

Fluorine. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation number in all compounds except peroxides and compunds with fluorine (+1 or +2)
In N2O5, the oxidation number of N (nitrogen) is +5 and the oxidation number of O (oxygen) is -2.
In KO2, O has an oxidation number of -1, K has an oxidation number of +1. In CO2, O has an oxidation number of -2, C has an oxidation number of +4. In K2CO3, O has an oxidation number of -2, C has an oxidation number of +4, and K has an oxidation number of +1. In the given reaction, the oxidation numbers for each atom remain the same as in their individual compounds.
The central carbon atom has an oxidation number of -2 (O is -2, H is +1)
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in most compounds, including sulfate (SO4), is typically -2. In Na2SO4, sodium (Na) has an oxidation number of +1. To calculate the oxidation number of oxygen in the compound, you would use the equation: 2(oxidation number of Na) + oxidation number of S + 4(oxidation number of O) = 0. By plugging in the known values, you can solve for the oxidation number of oxygen in Na2SO4.
The oxidation number of O in any elemental form (e.g. O2, O3) is zero. Typically in chemical compounds the oxidation number of O is -2 (oxide ion)
+1 for Na +5 for N -2 for each O
