What is Valence, Oxidation Number, and Formal Charge about?

The document discusses three related but fundamentally different concepts in chemistry - valence, oxidation number, and formal charge. It aims to clarify the definitions and relationships between these concepts. Valence refers to the number of electrons an atom uses in bonding and is equal to the group valence minus nonbonding electrons. Oxidation number represents the charge on an atom if ligands are removed heterolytically. Formal charge is the charge if ligands are removed homolytically. While these valu
