Sodium Oxide, or NaOH, has no oxidation state. It has a charge, which is zero. The elements that make up NaOH, however, do have oxidation states. The oxidation state of sodium (Na) is +1, and it will forever be +1 because it is impossible for it to be anything else, no matter what situation. The same applies for Hydrogen. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, and almost always will have an oxidation state of -2. There is one notable exception: H2O2. In this case, since the total charge of the compound is neutral and the oxidation state of Hydrogen must be +1 and, seeing as there are two hydrogens, bringing the overall charge up to 2, the oxidation state of oxygen must be -1. If it was -2, then the molecule would have an overall charge of -2.

What is the oxidation state of bromine in NaBr?
Bromine is in +5 oxidation state, oxygen is -2 and sodium is +1.
What is the name of the compound AlN3?
Aluminium almost always forms the +3 oxidation state in its compounds, so we do not use a Roman numeral when naming aluminum compounds. The NO3 moiety is the nitrate ion, NO3-. So the name is aluminum nitrate.
What is cuprous nitrate?
Cuprous nitrtate is copper(I) nitrate. CuNO3. The copper is in oxidation state '1' The more usual form is cupric nitrate that is copper(II)nitrate. Cu(NO3)2 The copper is in oxidation state '2'. NB THe 'cuprous/cupric' comes the Latin name for copper , which is 'cuprum'.
Thermal decomposition of sodium nitrate?
sodium nitrate ----> sodium nitrite + oxygen
What is oxidation Like in chemistry what is oxidation state in NaNO3?
Oxidation is when the material your'e working with, draws the oxygene-atoms from the surroundings into itself, so that the oxygene becomes a part of the matter. Here's a few examples: When you put magnesium(Periodic number 12, alkali metal) together with water, it reacts like this: H20+Mg=MgO2+H The thing that happens when you put the two materiels together, is that the magnesium begins to draw the oxygene-atoms in the water to itself, so that it becomes Mg02 (an oxid). So basically, a oxid is just a matter that contains oxygene-atomes. Like: FeO=iron-oxide. MgO=Magnesium-oxide. AlO=Aluminium-oxide. And so on... Basically, rust is just iron who have ben oxidated by contact with water. About the NaNO3 your'e talking about, i don't know. Try looking it up at Wikipedia.
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in NO3?
The Oxidation number is an apparent charge on a single atom in an ion or molecule in Nitrate the Oxidation number of Nitrogen is +5 and -6 for three oxygen atoms (-2 each) so net charge on Nitrate ion is -1.
What is the oxidation state of bromine in NaBr?
Bromine is in +5 oxidation state, oxygen is -2 and sodium is +1.
What is the chemical formula of Mercury nitrate?
For the one oxidation state. HgNO3 for the two oxidation state. Hg(NO3)2
What is the oxidation state of NaBrO3?
In NaBrO3 the oxidation state of sodium (Na) is 1+, the oxidation state of bromine is 5+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen atom is 2-
What is the name of the compound AlN3?

What is the oxidation state of hydrogen in NaH?
Its oxidation number is -1, which is uncommon for hydrogen.
What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in kno3?
There are NO carbon (C) atoms in potassium nitrate (KNO3). B.t.w. atoms always have an oxidation state to be zero.
Do Na2O have a Roman numeral?
No, Na2O does not have a Roman numeral. When we talk about sodium oxide (Na2O), we are dealing with sodium and oxygen. We know that sodium has a +1 oxidation state in nearly everything it reacts with. You can pretty much bet on it. As it is essentially always going to combine in this +1 oxidation state, there is no need to differentiate that oxidation state from another one, which is what Roman numerals do.Oxygen has (almost always) a -2 oxidation state, and that means it takes two +1's to balance with a -2. Sodium, with its +1 oxidation state, will combine in a two-to-one ratio with oxygen, with its -2 oxidation state, to make the oxide.
What is the mixture of Sodium and Nitrate makes?
Sodium Nitrate
What happens when lead II nitrate and sodium sulfate react?
The lead nitrate and sodium sulfate precipitate together and becomes lead sulfate and sodium nitrate. lead nitrate+ sodium sulfate --> lead sulfate + sodium nitrate
Thermal decomposition of sodium nitrate?
