Oxidation numbers are an invention of chemists; they are simply an accounting scheme that helps chemists to keep track of things in a redox reaction.
There are several different ways to assign oxidation numbers in ozone.
The only fixed point that all would agree on is that the sum of oxidation numbers on the three atoms must come to zero.
Argument 1: All 3 atoms are oxygen, so they all have the same electronegativity, so the oxidation numbers must be 0,0, and 0
Argument 2: When writing the formula of ozone and trying to obey the rules of valence, you have to use formal charge. The formula could be written
O=O(+)-O(-)
In this case the oxidation numbers must be assigned as 0,+1, and -1
Argument 3: The formulation of argument 2 is correct BUT both "end" oxygen atoms are in symmetrically identical environments, and the formula written above is just one of two resonance structures. The symmetry of the molecule must be recognised, and so the oxidation numbers are -1/2 , +1, and -1/2
You can find professional chemists who will argue quite strongly for any one of these three assignments. None of them is really "right" or "wrong". It is all a matter of how you want to do your accounting. (But just sit back and nod wisely if you find a chemist who is arguing passionately for a particular assignment).
H2SO4 is a compound and as such does not have an oxidation number. The individual atoms in this compound have oxidation number +1 for each hydrogen atom, +6 for sulfur, and -2 for each oxygen atom.
The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and there are two oxygen atoms, so the total oxidation number for the oxygen in CO2 is -4. This means that the oxidation number for the carbon atom is +4, because the compound has to have a 0 oxidation number.
For example the atomic number of oxygen is 8.
Each of the two sodium atoms in the formula for sodium oxide has an oxidation number of +1, and the oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2.
-2 for oxygen and +6 for chromium

Ozone is actually the tri-atomic form of oxygen atom. Oxygen molecule combines with oxygen atom to form ozone.
No. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom, or equivalently an increase in the oxidation number of that atom. Rust formation is one example of oxidation.
No, ozone is not nascent oxygen. Ozone is triatomic form of oxygen atom.
Ozone and oxygen are a bit similar. Ozone is a 3 atom and oxygen is 2 atom.
Not in and of itself. Ozone is a form, or allotrope, of the element oxygen.
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen. It is the triatomic form of oxygen atom.
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen. It is the tri-atomic form of oxygen atom.
it is named for the number of oxygen atoms in the ion and/or oxidation state of the atom to which the oxygen is bonded.
Oxygen decomposes into oxygen atom. It then combines with oxygen molecule to form ozone.
The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and there are two oxygen atoms, so the total oxidation number for the oxygen in CO2 is -4. This means that the oxidation number for the carbon atom is +4, because the compound has to have a 0 oxidation number.
