Answer 1

There is a slight difference between the two terms. Oxidation state refers to the degree of oxidation of an atom in a molecule. ... Each atom of the molecule will have a distinct oxidation state for that molecule where the sum of all the oxidation states will equal the overall electrical charge of the molecule or ion.
