What is the oxidation number of Carbon in c2h4?
-3
What is the oxidation number of c2h4?
Oxidation number is usually defined along the lines of the charge on the central atom if all "ligands" are removed along with the electron pairs.Now C2H4 is H2C=CH2 so we remove H as H- and leave a "charge" on the carbon atoms of 2+. the oxidation number of carbon is therefore (+)2.There is always debate about this term and the closely related term oxidation state. Confusingly some people use the term oxidation number to mean oxidation state.To calculate oxidation state which uses the relative electronegativity to determine which atom "keeps" the electrons, the hydrogens would be treated not as H- but as H+ leaving the carbon in an oxidation state of -2.My advice would be to check your notes and see which definition your teacher is using.
