In this case, we know the oxidation number for H is +1. Then set this value equal to the overall net charge of the ion. Our equation now looks like this: 1(4) = 1, You use the multiplier of 4 to indicate that the ammonium ion has 4 hydrogen. Thus, the oxidation number for Nitrogen is -3.

Take oxidation no of Nitrogen to be x and we know oxidation no of hydrogen is +1 and cimpound is neutral so x+3=0 and oxidation no of nitrogen is -3
