The oxidation number is often referred to as the oxidation state.
The number of electron/electrons which completely transferred and induced charged on an atom is called oxidation state of an atom. It is also describe as the number that is allocated to elements in a chemical combination. The number of electron that atoms in a molecule can share while forming chemical bonds with other atoms of a different elements. The oxidation number of the monoatomic (composed by atom) ion is the same as the charge of the ion.
The primary distinction between oxidation number versus oxidation state would be that the former refers to the charge that would be placed on the central atom of a coordination complex if every one of the connections around it were ionic bonds, while the latter relates to the number of electrons that an atom could either receive, lose, or share with some other atom.
