What is the oxidation state of h in h2 g?
zero- H2 is the elemental form- by definition the ON# is zero
What is the oxidation number of the hydrogen atom in InH3?
The oxidation number of hydrogen in InH3 is +1. In compounds, hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1, as it has a tendency to lose its single electron to form a positive charge.
In the compound Fe2O3 iron's oxidation number is while oxygen's oxidation number is -2.?
it is +2 it is also done by causing rust
Why is oxygen typically an oxidizing agent?
Oxygen is typically an oxidizing agent because it has a strong tendency to gain electrons from other substances, causing them to lose electrons and undergo oxidation. This property allows oxygen to facilitate chemical reactions where other substances are oxidized.
How many electrons will hydrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Hydrogen usually loses its single electron to become a hydrogen ion, H+.

Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Does sulfur gain electrons when combining with other elements?
It can both gain and lose electrons depending on the different elements. With hydrogen, it gains electrons to produce hydrogen sulphide and it will lose electrons with oxygen to produce sulphur oxides. Generally it will tend to gain electrons as it is in group 16 of the elements and so is quite negatively electrovalent but against a more negatively electrovalent elements it can be forced to lose electrons unwillingly as in the case of oxygen. Even though oxygen is also in group 16, sulphur is an order below oxygen and therefore less negatively electrovalent that oxygen.

What do the oxidation number 2 imply?
The oxidation number of a chemical tells how many electrons it will gain or lose in a reaction. A positive oxidation number means that it will lose electrons, and a negative means it will gain them. A chemical with an oxidation number of 2+ would usually lose 2 electrons in a reaction.All of the Alkali earth metals (second column of the periodic table) have an oxidation number of 2+.
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions when they donate them in a chemical reaction, making them stronger acids.
What chemical reaction with other substances is called oxidation?
A reaction witrh oxygen is called oxidation. Generally oxidation involve lose of electrons.

What is the difference between oxidation and hydrolysis?
Oxidation is a reaction in which an atom, molecule or compound loses an electron. OIL = Oxidation Is Lost; RIG= Reduction Is Gain LEO = Lose Electron in Oxidation; GER = Gain Electron in Reduction (LEO the lion says GER) Hydrolysis is a reaction in which a molecule or compound is broken down, by the addition of a water molecule (it is NOT the breaking of a water molecule into oxygen and hydrogen - that is a different reaction called electrolysis). An example of hydrolysis is the breaking down of maltose into 2 glucose molecules. A molecule of water is added, usually with an acid to catalyse the reaction, into a solution of maltose. You can therefore say that hydrolysis is a type of oxidation reaction, being as maltose loses glucose molecule (hence losing the electrons in the atoms of glucose).
