All the three are different methods used to assign the charge associated with atoms with in a compound

Oxidation number is the number assigned to an atom considering each bond is ionic and the electrons are transferred to more electronegative atom

Formal charge is charge assigned to an atom considering the bonded electrons are equally shared

Partial charge is the fraction of electrons in the bond that should be assigned to each atom

answer is A, B, C, D.

Detailed Solution

oxidation number is the electric charge an atom would have if the bonding electrons were assigned exclusively to the more electronegative atom.

The formal charge of an atom in a molecule is the charge that would reside on the atom if all of the bonding electrons were shared equally
