Oxidation Number
The oxidation state of an atom can be defined as the hypothetical charge that would
be held by that atom if all of its bonds to other atoms were completely ionic in nature.

Jens Martensson
 The number of electrons lost in an atom. Ideally, the oxidation state is either zero,
positive, or negative. 5
General Atoms & Molecules have Zero Oxidation State.
Some Elements have fixed Oxidation State :
