<u>Answer</u>:
By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom
<u>Explanation</u>:
Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.
