What is meant by oxidation number of an atom?
The oxidation number of an atom describes the number of electrons that an element has partially/entirely accepted/donated. A neutral atom has oxidation number of 0. When forming an ion, the overall oxidation number is equivalent to its charge.
How does the oxidation number indicate if an electron will be lost or gained?
If an atom loses electron, then it will have a positive oxidation number. If an atom gains electron, then it will have a negative oxidation number.
Oxidation in terms of oxidation number?
Oxidation number increases when the atom is oxidised, and decreases when it is reduced
What is the used to determine the number of each atom in an ionic formula?
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
What is the oxidation number of Br2?
Each Br atom has an oxidation number of zero.

What is the oxidation number of Br2?
Each Br atom has an oxidation number of zero.
When an atom undergoes oxidation what happens to the number of neutrons?
Oxidation is a chemial reaction; the atom and the number of neutrons remains unchanged.
What is the oxidation number of each atom in Kl?
Pottasium has +1 oxidation number.Iodine has -1 oxidation number.
What is meant by the oxidation number of an elemnet?
The oxidation number implies that how many electrons that a particular element has partially/fully accepted/donated. The oxidation number for any neutral atom is 0. The oxidation number of an atom is equal to its overall charge.
What is the oxidation of Br2-?
Each Br atom has an oxidation number of zero.
What is an atom's oxidation number?
The oxidation number of an atom states how it shares its valence electrons with other elements (or ions or compounds). A neutral atom always has its oxidation number 0: it does not share any electrons. A cation has a positive oxidation number and that of anion is negative because they donate and attract electrons respectively.
What is an oxidation number in chemistry?
The oxidation number of an ionic atom or molecule is the number electrons that it has lost or gained.
What is the oxidation number of S8?
The oxidation number of an atom in it's elemental state is always 0.
