Auto-redox reaction in which the oxidation number of an atom within a molecule changes as the compound changes on each side of the equation.
There are products and kits for this at most national chain auto parts stores.
Co = +2 oxidation C = +4 oxidation O = -2 oxidation
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
Oxidation number is oxidation states of an element. It can be positive or negative.
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
oxidation
Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.
Mg = +2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
-2 oxidation state
It depends on what form it is in. It can be in the 4+ oxidation state, 4- oxidation state and every oxidation state in between.
