I can't understand the term oxidation number.According to my textbook, it is the charge assigned to an atom. But for what purpose we are doing this?Is it for identifying the oxident and reductant in a reaction?If yes, on what basis the rules (for assigning oxidation states) are implemented?
Also,my textbook doesn't provide the complete rules for balancing an equation(of redox reaction-Oxidation number meathod & ion electron meathod),so,i am very weak in balancing equations.I would like to get some HOT questions in balancing equations of redox reaction.
