7778969959if during a reaction the oxidation number of an element becomes ____, then the element has been oxidized and vice-versapositive6
7778973108Oxidation number the number of electrons that an atom: if the atom gains, or tends to gain electrons: if there is no change: in the case of a simple ion: in the case of covalent bonds:loses or tends to lose in a reaction oxid # is negative hasn't taken part in the redox oxidation number of the species is equal to the ionic charge oxidation number is the charge the species would develop if compound was ionic7
