Answer» Explanation:OXIDATION number or oxidation STATE of an atom in a chemical compound is the number of electrons lost or gained. It is also DEFINED as the degree of oxidation of the atom in the compound.This is a THEORETICAL number which can help to decipher the oxidation and reduction in a redox reaction.Carbon in methane, is in oxidation state of -4 and in carbon dioxide, , carbon is in oxidation state of +4. The chemical reaction is: |
