Answer:
First the Lewis formula is recorded.
Then the electrons are assigned to the atoms according to electronegativity
The oxidation number can then be calculated based on the valence electrons. Example: Oxygen normally has 6 valence electrons (VI. Main group).
Explanation:
"The oxidation state of chlorine in cl2 is"
