What are the oxidation numbers of magnesium in magnesium dichromate?

In compounds, magnesium has a +2 oxidation state; in most but not quite all compounds, oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. In peroxides, oxygen has a -1 oxidation state. In oxygen fluorides, oxygen has positive oxidation states.


Cara heated a sample of the compound manganese fluoride which broke down into manganese and fluoride. what reaction occurs?

Reduction-Oxidation Reaction: If looking at MnF2(s) -> Mn(s) + F2(g), we can see that in the reactant, MnF2, the oxidation state of F is -1, and that of Mn is +2. However, in the products, both of them have oxidation states of 0 (because they are in their elemental form). Thus, F has been oxidized and Mn has been reduced. Mn is the oxidizing agent, F is the reducing agent.


What is the oxidation number of Li2AlF6?

Li = +1; Al = +3; F = -1 but I think your formula is wrong Li3AlF6


What ions would form from the element F?

F-1 (flouride). Flourine has the strongest attraction for electrons of any element, so the oxidation state of -1 is the only one that flourine uses.


What is the oxidation state of oxygen in H2O2?

O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
