A molecule of a compound must be electrically neutral overall. There is only one y atom in the formula, so that the total contribution of charge from y is +2. There are two x atoms, and each of them must have an oxidation number of -1 for a total of -2 to neutralize the charge from y.

What decimal number is represented by the binary number?
Every decimal number can be represented by a binary number - and conversely.
HOW TO FIND compound interest?
So you use the formula balance=principal(1+n over the number of years the the exponent ;0
What is compound interest of 1500 dollars for 5 years at interest of 5 percent?
Compound interest functions can be represented as [(1+i)^t]*n, where i = interest rate t = time n = original number [(1.05)^5]*1500 = $1914.42
The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always?
The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always zero. (Note that in order for this to be true, the oxidation number of each type of atom present must by multiplied by the number of such atoms present in the formula unit for the compound before the addition is performed.)
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of while oxygen's oxidation number is -2.?
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 while oxygen has an oxidation number is -2.
What is the oxidation number of P in PO?
There is no compound by the formula PO. There is element, polonium with the symbol, Po, and in elemental form, Po has zero oxidation state.

What is the oxidation number for ti in Ti02?
This compound is white in color. Ti shows +4 in this compound.
In the compound Fe2O3 iron's oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is .?
Usually, oxygen has an oxidation of -2 (that is unless in a compound with peroxides or halogens).
What is the oxidation number of Mn in Mn04?
In the anions of oxyacids, oxygen is always assigned an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, in an MnO4-1 anion, manganese must have an oxidation number of +7 to achieve electrical balance for the anion. (There is no neutral compound with the formula MnO4.)
What is the oxidation number for Mn in the formula H2MnO3?
MnO2 manganese(IV) oxide. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state (oxidation state is a better term here as oxidation number is better used for complexes- they give the same answer for this compound)
What does the roman mean in an ionic compound?
A Roman number in the name of an ionic compound gives the absolute value of the oxidation number of that element in the compound which immediately precedes the Roman number. This is most common with cations of elements, such as copper and cobalt, that can form stable cations in more than one oxidation state. Copper(II) chloride, for example as the formula CuCl2 while copper(I) chloride has the formula CuCl.
