Every element on the Periodic Table has an OXIDATION NUMBER of zero, including Lithium.
In LiH the oxidation number of Li (lithium) is 1+ and the oxidation number of H (hydrogen) is 1-
0 in elemental form +1 in its compounds
Oxidation number of Li is +1. It is -2 in O and +4 in C
+1 for Li and -1 for Cl
Li²S
This contains H- ion. Li shows +1 oxidation number.
In LiH the oxidation number of Li (lithium) is 1+ and the oxidation number of H (hydrogen) is 1-
Oxidation number of Li is +1. It is -2 in O and +4 in C
0 in elemental form +1 in its compounds
+1 for Li and -1 for Cl
Li²S
The oxidation number for Li, or Lithium, is Li+1. Lithium is in the first family on the Periodic Table. Since the element wants to become stable, and it only it needs 8 valence electrons. So therefore, it has to lose an electron. Losing an electron will make it a positive oxidation number.
+1 for Li -1 for Br
Oxidation number of Li is +1. Oxidation number of oxygen is -2.
The rule for hydrogen is that it normally has an oxidation state of +1, EXCEPT in metal hydrides, when it has an oxidation state of -1.Li is a metal, LiH is a metal hydride.Does that tell you what you need to know?
+1 for Li +3 of N -2 for O
+1 for each Li and -2 for O
