About Oxidation Numbers

The oxidation number refers to the electrical charge of an atom. Typically, this relates to the number of electrons that must be gained (negative oxidation number) or lost (positive oxidation number) for the atom's valence electron shell to be filled or half-filled. However, most metals are capable of multiple oxidation states. For example, iron common has an oxidation number of +2 or +3. Halogens, on the other hand, have an oxidation state of -1.
