What determines the oxidation number?
The oxidation number determines how much an element is oxidated, so the oxidation number of... 1. elements is always 0. 2. of simple ions is always the charge, e.g. in Cu2+ the oxidation number of...

How can you determine what the oxidation number of an ion is?
This is an EXTREMELY complex area, but there is a fairly basic rule, but there are MANY rule breakers. Let's look at it this way, an ion forms so that an element can achieve 8 electrons, they want to...
