The oxidation number of a free element is always 0. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of "H" is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements. The oxidation number of "O" in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1. The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2. The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is 0. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
