Oxidation states, also known as oxidation numbers, are indicative of the hypothetical charge an atom might possess if all of its bonds were ionic in nature. These numbers are calculated by allocating electrons to the atom that exhibits greater electronegativity within a bond. There are certain established rules for deriving these numbers, which play a vital role in comprehending chemical reactions, most notably redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions.
