Although oxidation reactions are commonly associated with the formation of oxides from oxygen molecules, oxygen is not necessarily included in such reactions, as other chemical species can serve the same function. The reaction can occur relatively slowly, as in the case of rust, or more quickly, as in the case of fire.
Ho â¦ wever the formal definition of oxidation number ligands are removed from the central atom (irrespective of electronegativity) with ALL bonding electrons. So in H2NOH choosing N as the central atom the oxidation numbers of nitrogen would be +III, H and OH would be-I.
