Others, notably the nonmetals and the transition elements, can assume a variety of oxidation numbers; for example, nitrogen can have any oxidation number between −3 (as in ammonia, NH 3 ) and +5 (as in nitric acid , HNO 3 ). Such numbers are written to the _____ of the symbol for the element. � The more electronegative atom is assumed to take the bonding electrons, so its oxidation number will be negative - it mimics an anion. By definition, the oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. This glaze goes on dull, and it is usually a pastel color, but the finished product comes out of the kiln (or oven) with bright shiny colors. Mg(NO3)2 17. K1+ S2- 2.
