WebRules for Assigning Oxidation States . The oxidation state of an atom in any pure element, whether monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic, is zero. The oxidation state of a monatomic ion is the same as its charge—for example, Na + = +1, Cl − = −1. The oxidation state of fluorine in chemical compounds is always −1.
