Oxidation Numbers
Notes:
Oxidation Number = Charge
Rules for Determining Oxidation Number
1. Single elements = 0
2. Oxygen is almost always -2
3. Hydrogen is usually +1
4. The total charge of the compound equals zero unless otherwise stated (example NO3 -1 has a total charge of -1)
For examples in calculating oxidation numbers, watch the video below.
