Oxidation State

The oxidation state sometimes also referred as oxidation number. It describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Oxidation State is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or losses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. Oxidation states are typically represented by integers which may be positive, zero, or negative. The increase in oxidation state of an atom, through a chemical reaction, is known as an oxidation, a decrease in oxidation state is known as a reduction. Such reactions involve the formal transfer of electrons: a net gain in electrons being a reduction, and a net loss of electrons being an oxidation. For pure elements, the oxidation state is zero.

Edelweiss Chemical Science Journal corresponds with many branches of science like organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, analytical chemistry, applied chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology and many more that aims to publish most complete and reliable source of information on the findings and current developments in the form of original Research, Review, Opinion articles, Case reports, Mini review, Short communication. This Journal provides an open access platform for the young scientists and researchers from all over the globe to share their valuable information regarding the chemical science.
