Zn +2, Cl -1
Cl -1, S +1
The oxidation number of Na in NaCl is +1, while the oxidation number of Cl in NaCl is -1.
-1 for each Cl +3 for N
-1 for each Cl, +2 for Pt
S = +2 oxidation state cl = -1 oxidation state
Cl -1, S +1
The oxidation number of Na in NaCl is +1, while the oxidation number of Cl in NaCl is -1.
-1 for each Cl +3 for N
-1 for each Cl, +2 for Pt
S = +2 oxidation state cl = -1 oxidation state
Total electrons --> 7+42-1=48 Cl as a central atom One lone pair on Cl (on the side) 4 F's up and down and the other two on the opposite side of lone pair. F I :- Cl - F - F I F This is the best I can do with plain text.
+2 for Mg, -1 for each Cl
-2 for each O, +4 for Cl
-2 for each O, +4 for Cl
-1 for each Cl; +3 for V
-1 for each Cl, +2 for Sn
Oxidation number is the charge per atom in a compound. Cl2= 2- (Cl= 1-) Cu would have to be 2+ to balance the compound, because there is only one copper atom.
