If I have a +2 oxidation number do I give up or accept electrons?​

I will give up the electrons

Explanation:

Consider the following rules:

1. An atom loses electrons if its oxidation number is positive.

2. An atom gains electrons if its oxidation number is negative.

3. An atom neither gains nor loses electrons if its atomic number is zero.

As I have an oxidation number that is oxidation number is positive, so, I will give up electrons.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
