Oxidation Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Oxidation Number = Number of Electrons in Valence Shell-Number of Electrons Left After Bonding
Oxidation number = Ne_{Valence Shell}-Ne_{After Bonding}
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Oxidation Number - Oxidation Number, also called oxidation state, the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.
Number of Electrons in Valence Shell - The Number of Electrons in Valence Shell can be defined as the number of electrons that an atom has in its valence shell.
Number of Electrons Left After Bonding - The Number of Electrons Left After Bonding can be defined as the number of electrons that an atom is left with it after bonding with other atoms.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Electrons in Valence Shell: 7 --> No Conversion Required
Number of Electrons Left After Bonding: 5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Oxidation number = Ne_{Valence Shell}-Ne_{After Bonding} --> 7-5

Evaluating ... ...

Oxidation number = 2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2 <-- Oxidation Number

What does oxidation number specify?

Oxidation number in simple terms can be described as the number that is allocated to elements in a chemical combination. The oxidation number is basically the count of electrons that atoms in a molecule can share, lose or gain while forming chemical bonds with other atoms of a different element. The oxidation number is also referred to as the oxidation state.

On what property does the oxidation number depend?

Sometimes these terms can have a different meaning depending on whether we are considering the electronegativity of the atoms or not. The oxidation number term is used frequently in coordination chemistry.

How to Calculate Oxidation Number?

Oxidation Number calculator uses Oxidation Number = Number of Electrons in Valence Shell-Number of Electrons Left After Bonding to calculate the Oxidation Number, The Oxidation number formula is defined as the difference between the number of electrons in the valence shell and the number of electrons left after bonding. Oxidation Number is denoted by Oxidation number symbol.

How to calculate Oxidation Number using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Oxidation Number, enter Number of Electrons in Valence Shell (Ne_{Valence Shell}) & Number of Electrons Left After Bonding (Ne_{After Bonding}) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Oxidation Number calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2 = 7-5.

FAQ

What is Oxidation Number?
