depends. in square planar complexes, it's usually +1 but in octahendral complexes it's +3
Cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 (III) in the compound Co2O3.
Xe when it is not in a compound has an oxidation number of 0
This compound is sodium thiosulphate. S represents +6 oxidation number.
This is a neutral compound. Oxidation number of it is +2.
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 while oxygen has an oxidation number is -2.
Cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 (III) in the compound Co2O3.
Xe when it is not in a compound has an oxidation number of 0
Xe when it is not in a compound has an oxidation number of 0
Usually, oxygen has an oxidation of -2 (that is unless in a compound with peroxides or halogens).
This compound is sodium thiosulphate. S represents +6 oxidation number.
This is a neutral compound. Oxidation number of it is +2.
The oxidation number of lead (Pb) in the compound PbCl2 has to be what?
+2 oxidation state for the Copper. -1 for the Chloride
0 because all compounds have an oxidation number of 0. It's the ions (fe S O) that have oxidation numbers, The sum of these oxidation numbers always = 0 in a compound and hence a compound has a oxidation number of 0. :-) hope this helped....
For a neutral atom or compound, the oxidation number is always 0. For an ion, the overall oxidation number is its charge. If you need to find an oxidation number to a particular atom of a compound, there are two ways: working out the Lewis structures or balancing the charges.
The oxidation number of what in K3PO4? In that compound the oxidation number of oxygen is -2, the oxidation number of potassium is +1, and the oxidation number of phosphorus is +5.Realistically, in most compounds you can generally take it as a given that the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and the oxidation number of any alkali metal is +1. In potassium phosphate, that only leaves the oxidation number of phosphorus to figure out, and since they have to come out to a total of zero ...The oxidation number of a compound is essentially a meaningless phrase.
