| Electrons are assigned to atoms in covalent and ionic compounds and the oxidation number of each atom is determined. |
|
| A species is oxidized in a reaction if it undergoes a increase in oxidation number. |
|
| The term valence can also refer to the charge or oxidation number on an atom. |
|
| The oxidation number of an atom in an elemental substance is zero. |
|
| For a given nonmetal central atom, the acid strength increases as the oxidation number of the central atom increases. |
|
| Owing to the reducing nature of thiols, changes in the metal oxidation number were also possible before precipitation. |
|
| This novel arrangement seems to change the palladium atom's so-called oxidation state, or oxidation number. |
|
| The result of this transfer is the change of the oxidation number. |
|
| This makes it possible to assign every atom an oxidation number, which specifies the number of its electrons that can be involved in forming bonds with other atoms. |
|
| Oxidation-reduction reaction, also called redox reaction, any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes. |
