Sagot :

Answer:

The answer is in the problem

Explanation:

As general rule of number of oxygen is -2:

O → -2

Alkali metals (Li, Na, K) are always +1

Na → +1

Alkali earth methals (Be, Mg, Ca...) are always +2

Ca → +2

The halogen group (F, Cl, Br...) is always -1

F → -1

The oxidation number of Si (+/- 4)

Aluminium is, usually +3

And to complete the octet rule in nitrogen, 3 electrons are required. That means:

N → -3
