The oxidation number for chlorine atom in the given HCl atom has to be assigned. Concept introduction: Oxidation number: The oxidation number of an element is zero. The oxidation number of a monoatomic ion equals its charge. The oxidation number is zero for the summation of the oxidation numbers complete atoms in a complete formula. The charge on the ion is equal to the summation of the oxidation numbers of complete atoms in poly atomic ion. The oxidation state of alkali metal ( Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs ) is + 1 , and alkaline earth metal is (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) is + 2 . The oxidation state of hydrogen is + 1 (without bonding with metals), the oxidation state of oxygen is − 2 .
