The oxidation number of H is -1.

Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element = charge of the complex

CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".

Then,

<span>    (+2) + 2 x a = 0 </span>

<span>        +2  + 2a  = 0</span>

                  2a = -2

                    a = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1
