... The oxidation number of an uncombined atom is 0. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion= its charge. The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 except -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of + ions in IA,IIA, and IIIA are the + of the GP #. The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 except where #4/#6 cause ...
