Valencey Oxidation Number
1. It is the combining capacity of an element in terms of the number of hydrogen atoms with which the element may combine e.g. valency of S in H2S is 2 and that of N in NH3  is 3. 1. It is the charge which an atom of the element has or appears to have when present in the combined state with their atoms e.g. oxidation number of N in HNO3  is +5.
2. It is purely a number and has no plus or minus sign associated with it. e.g. valency of N in NH3  is 3 and that of H is 1. 2. It is always assigned plus or minus sign except when it is zero e.g. oxidation number of N in NH3  is -3 and that of H is +1
3. It is always a whole number. 3. It may not always be a whole number but may be fractional also. The e.g. oxidation number of Fe in Fe3O4  is +8/3.
