The apparent charge that an atom would have in a compound is called oxidation state (O.S).Consider the following statements about O.S:I. In ionic compounds, the number of electrons which an atom loses or gains is its O.S.II. In covalent compounds, the O.S of an element is decided by the difference of electronegativity between the two atoms in the covalent compound, the element with greater electronegativity has negative O.S.III. In covalent compounds, the element with less electronegativity has positive O.S.Which of the above statements about O.S is / are correct?
