the charge on that ion
In a polyatomic ion the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms is equal to?
the charge on that ion
What is the oxidation state of cl in clo2?
This is a gas compound. Chlorine shows +4 as the oxidation number.
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in the peroxydisulfate ion S2O82?
+6 2x-12-2=-2 2x=12 x=6 This is because there are 1 peroxy bond in S2O82- because of which 2 of the 8 oxygen atoms have -1 oxidation state other 6 Oxygen atoms have -2
What is the oxidation number of H3PO4?
In H3PO4 the oxidation number forH is +1P is +5O is -2
What is the oxidation number of carbon in Na2CO3?
Sodium is always 1+, oxygen in this case is 2-. The sum of all of these atoms' oxidation numbers is -4. Therefore, since the compound in neutral carbon must have a +4 oxidation number.
What is the oxidation number of C in CH3COOH?
Assuming you mean what is the oxidation number of each atom in the compound C3H8O? Oxidation rules state the the sum of all oxidation numbers in a neutral molecule equals 0. 1. O = -2 2. H = +1 3. C = -2 These numbers are derived from... (-2) + (+1 x 8) + (-2 x 3) = 0
What does the common oxidation number mean?
The common oxidation number means any number that indicates the charge of atoms when an electron is either lost, gained, or shared in a chemical bond. It is known as the ion's number. Also, oxidation numbers in all atoms in a compound must add up to zero.
How many atoms in HNO3 and what types?
In HNO3 or nitric acid, there are three elements - hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. The atoms are present in the ratio 1:1:3. All three atoms are of non-metals.HNO3 is an acid. It has 5 atoms. They are, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen.
Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
All metals have positive oxidation numbers. Non-metals may have positive or negative oxidation numbers and some metalloids have both positive and negative oxidation numbers as well
What is the oxidation number of O in SO4?
Oxygen atoms are generally considered to have an oxidation number of -2 in all oxyanions such as sulfate.
