1.	The oxidation nuber fo an atom in a given species (molecule ion, or free atom ) is the .
Answer» formal charge of the atom valency of the atom actual charge of atom actual charge FO the atom if the atom exists as a mono-atomic ION or the HYPOTHETICAL charge assinged to the atom in the species by simple rules Solution :In the case of a single-atom ion, OXIDATION number corresponds to the actual charge on the ion. In molecules and `//` or polyatomic ions, oxidation number corresponds to the mumber of charges an atom have in a molecule (or polyatomic ion ) if electrons were transferred completely to more electronegative atom.
