Q: Why the Oxidation number of all elements in free state and molecules having same atoms always zero?
Ans: Oxidation number shows
discrepancy of attraction between two atoms in a molecule or electronegativity
differences. In free states, atoms are always neutral and in molecules of
similar atoms, the attraction between atoms and electronegativity of all the
bonded atoms are same.
