Helium (He) is one such element. So is Argon (Ar). There are probably others as well.
Noble gases, also known as group 18 elements, will never have an oxidation number because they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them very stable and unreactive.
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.
In a redox reaction the OXIDATION numbers of some of the elements change from the reactants to the products. The numbers of atoms each element never changes in any chemical reaction.
An element exhibits a positive oxidation state when it is bonded to a more electronegative element. Fluorine is the most electronegative of all the elements. But what if fluorine bonds with extremely elecronegative oxygen and nitrogen ligands like -OCF3, -OTeF5, -OIO2F2, -N(SO2CF3)2, -N3, -N5(pentazole ligand) etc.? eg: F-OTeF5
It never has -2 oxidation number. Nitrogen oxidation numbers are possible: -3 (nitrides), 0 (elemental), +3 (nitrites), +5 (nitrates). Also +1, +2 and maybe +4 are possible (in Nitro-oxides only).

When a process of oxidation takes place the element acquires a unit positive charge. The number of protons are more than the number of electrons in an element which gives the element its positive charge as the protons have a positive charge.
No, oxygen will never have a -3 oxidation number. If it had a -3 oxidation number, it would not have a full octet. It would have a +1 charge, therefore making it not happy.

Never.
This can never be. The square of any number will always be positive. Any positive number multiplied by another positive number will be positive, while any negative number multiplied by another negative number will be positive.
iT IS NEVER NEGATIVE, IT IS ALWAYS POSITIVE
