Give the oxidation numbers for the underlined atoms in the following molecules and ions:

Interpretation:
The oxidation number of the underlined atoms isto be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidation number can be assigned using the following rules:
In free state, an element is always in
For a neutral compound, oxidation numbers of atoms add upto
In a polyatomic ion, oxidation number of atoms add up to the charge on the ion.
The oxidation number of monoatomic ions is same as its charge.
Oxygen is usually in
Hydrogen is usually in
Group 1 elements are always in
