Name. ‘Worksheet — ASSIGNING OXIDATION NUMBERS ‘The oxidation number of any pure element is 0. ‘The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals that charge on the ion. ‘The more electronegative element in a binary compound is assigned the number equal to the charge it would have if it were an ion, ‘Tae oxidation number of fluorine in compound is always -1 Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 unless itis combined with F, in which itis +1 or #2, orit is in peroxide (such as HO> or Na.0:), in which itis -1. Hydrogen is +1, unless combined with a metal, and then it is 1 In compounds, Group | is +1, Group 2 is +2, and Aluminum is 43. ‘The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is 0. ‘The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
