Answer:

The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of -2
