- Valence, Oxidation Number, and Formal Charge: Three Related but Fundamentally Different Concepts
  Gerard Parkin
  Journal of Chemical Education2006 83 (5), 791
  Terms such as valence, oxidation number, coordination number, formal charge, and number of bonds are widely used throughout chemistry. Although each of these terms has a distinct meaning, their utility is lessened by imprecise usage. Valence, for example, ...

- The Concept of Oxidation States in Metal Complexes
  Dirk Steinborn
  Journal of Chemical Education2004 81 (8), 1148
  The concept of oxidation states is one of the most powerful heuristic concepts in chemistry. It plays an important role in teaching chemistry. After a brief historical survey, basic considerations are given to assign oxidation numbers of atoms in ...
