| oxidation number |
an integer assigned to an atom in a compound that helps track electrons during redox reactions. Sometimes called "apparent charge." During a redox reaction, an increase in oxidation number of an atom indicates a loss of electrons, or oxidation; a decrease in oxidation number indicates a gain of electrons, or reduction.
