Oxidation number
(NOMBOR PENGOKSIDAAN)
Definition:
The oxidation number of an element is the
charge that the atom of the element would
have if complete transfer of electron occurs
Nombor pengoksidaan unsur adalah cas atom unsur itu
sendiri jika pemindahan elektron berlaku dengan
lengkap
Tips from the rules:
 the oxidation number for atom and molecule is
zero =0
Atom or molecule Zn C Mg Ag H2 O2 Cl2
Oxidation number 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 the oxidation number for monoatomic ion is
equal to its charge
Monoatomic ion H+
Fe2+
Mn2+
Fe3+
Cr3-
O2-
N3-
Oxidation number +1 +2 +2 +3 -1 -2 -3
Azlee Chemistry 2009
 the sum of oxidation numbers of all elements in
the compound is zero

Oxidation number x -2
[let the unknown oxidation number is equal to x]
1(x) + 2(-2) = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4
Thus;
Oxidation number of S in SO2 = +4
