What is Oxidation States and Rules Overview about?

Oxidation number, also called oxidation state, is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond. Common examples of oxidation numbers include Mn2+, O2-, Fe2+, and Cl-. The oxidation state of a pure element is always zero, while the oxidation state of an ion is equivalent to its charge. The sum of oxidation states in a neutral molecule or compound must equal zero.
