Abstract:The term "oxidation number" and related concept such as "electronegativity" and "formal charge" appear frequently in both elementary and advance chemistry text. However, it is evident from the literature (or textbooks) that these terms are often viewed to be synonymous. Incomplete explanation of the fundamental concept of oxidation number can lead that conclusions pertaining to such a misleading interpretation. This research was conducted to review the concepts from common used high school chemistry textbooks … Show more
