What is the oxidation number of oxygen in H20?
Water, or H2O is a free-standing neutral compound, so it's oxidation number is 0. Its atoms have oxidation number though. Hydrogen's oxidation number in water is +1, and oxygen's is -2.
What is oxidation number oxygen in h2o?
-2 for O and +1 for H
What is the oxidation number of H2O?
For the hydrogen atoms the oxidation state is 1+, for the oxygen it is 2-
What is the oxidation number in the compound H2O?
O.S. of H = +1 O.S. of O = -2 O.N. of cpd = 0
When the H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent which product might be formed from it O2 or H2O?
When H2O2 acts as an oxidizing agent, the H2O2 must be reduced. Therefore, the product from it will be water, in which oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, whereas in H2O2 has an oxidation number of -1 and in O2 the oxygen has an oxidation number of 0.

Are hydrogen and oxygen a compound?
hydrogen and oxygen forms a water compound H2O

Is oxygen and hydrogen combined a molecular compound?
Water, H2O, is a molecule of hydrogen and oxygen. It is considered a compound. That said, yes, oxygen and hydrogen combine to make a compound that is represented by the molecule H2O.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in h2o?
There is no carbon in H2O (water) molecule
Is h2o the same compound as H2O2?
No, because there is one atom of oxygen in H2O and two atoms of oxygen in H2O2.
What kind of reaction is 2H2O2 2H2O plus O2?
2H2O2 <-> H2O + O2 the oxidation number of each O in H2O2 is -1 the oxidation number in H2O is -2 the oxidation number in O2 is zero. The average oxidation number of oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation. is the same. So overall the net change to oxygen is zero one is reduced two are oxidised. Looked at from the viewpoint of the oxygen atoms in O2 they started off with oxidation number of -1 and have ended up with 0, so they have been oxidised. (oxidation is loss of electrons, and therefore an increase in oxidation number.)
How do you determine the number of peroxo linkages?
Peroxo linkages are bonds that are formed by oxygen. The Oxidation state of oxygen is one E.G in H2o there is one and then in Cr05 there are two peroxo linkages
What compound does Oxygen and Hydrogen make?
H2O = water.
