Document Summary

Nucleus - small region that contains almost all the mass of an atom. Proton - positively charged particles found within the center of the atom. Neutron - uncharged dense particle located in the center of the atom. Oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2. H has an oxidation number of +1 when bonded to other nonmetals. When bonded to other atoms, f always has an oxidation number of -1. Mg will form the monatomic ion mg2+ with a charge and oxidation number of +2. Oxidation charge - reflects the charge the element would have if all bonds were ionic. Is determined by the way it is bonded. Reflects the way electrons are transferred during a reaction. Reflects its charge if it is present as an ion. The oxidation number of a free element is always 0. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
