Answer:

The first carbon in acetic acid, or CH3COOH , has an oxidation number of -3 . ... By comparison, the carbon on the right will lose all the electrons it contributes to the bonds with oxygen because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. As a result, the right carbon will have an ON of +3.
