The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always?
The sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always zero. (Note that in order for this to be true, the oxidation number of each type of atom present must by multiplied by the number of such atoms present in the formula unit for the compound before the addition is performed.)
What is the sum of Oxidation numbers for h2o?
Zero
In a polyatomic ion the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms equal to?
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 number of carbon in strontium carbonate?
In the carbonate CO32- the sum of the oxidation numbers is the ionic charge (true for all poyatomic ions) O is assigned -2 so C has +4. (maths 4 +(-6) = -2)
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in HNO3?
sum is zero. +1 for H, +5 for N, -2 for each O. So sum is zero
