-1 for Carbon (in carbide) and +2 for Ca
The oxidation number of Ca is 0 in its elemental form and is +2 in its compounds.
The oxidation number of Calcium (Ca) is +2
+4 oxygen has an oxidation of -2, so do 3 times -2=-6, i believe Ca is a +2 and you must get the numbers to equal 0. so the answer is a +4
Oxidation number is plus two. It is common to every ion of Ca.
+2 for Ca in its compounds
The oxidation number of Ca is 0 in its elemental form and is +2 in its compounds.
The oxidation number of Calcium (Ca) is +2
CaC2 It is also called Calcium Acetylide which describes the structure better. It forms a chain with a triple bond between the Carbon atoms -Ca-C---C-Ca-C---C-Ca- etc.
+4 oxygen has an oxidation of -2, so do 3 times -2=-6, i believe Ca is a +2 and you must get the numbers to equal 0. so the answer is a +4
Oxidation number is plus two. It is common to every ion of Ca.
The only oxidation number is 2+.
+2 for Ca in its compounds
Ca is 2+ and P is 3-
+2 for Ca, +6 for Cr, -2 for each O
The oxidation value (number) of C atom in carbide (not corbide) is -1, and of Ca always +2. This makes one Ca reacting with two C atoms in forming CaC2.Calcium Carbide is a common but improper name for CaC2.It's proper name is Calcium Acetylide.In Calcium Acetylide there are three covalent bonds joining the Carbon atoms, andthe forth bond of each Carbon go to Calcium forming an ionic bond.Crystal structure :The common crystalline form at room temperature is tetragonal, a distorted rock salt structure with the C22− units lying parallel.(Cf. 'Related links' for ionic picture)
0 for the elemental form +2 in its compounds
They do not. The group 2 elements, Be, Mg, Ca etc, have oxidation numbers of +2.
