Does oxygen ever have a 3- oxidation number?
No, oxygen will never have a -3 oxidation number. If it had a -3 oxidation number, it would not have a full octet. It would have a +1 charge, therefore making it not happy.
Which element will never have an oxidation number?
Noble gases, also known as group 18 elements, will never have an oxidation number because they have a full valence shell of electrons, making them very stable and unreactive.
What is the oxidation number for F2?
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.
In which of the compounds does nitrogen have an oxidation number of -2?
It never has -2 oxidation number. Nitrogen oxidation numbers are possible: -3 (nitrides), 0 (elemental), +3 (nitrites), +5 (nitrates). Also +1, +2 and maybe +4 are possible (in Nitro-oxides only).
1982 Ford Granada station where is the oxidation plug located?
Never heard of an Oxidation plug?
How high can numbers go?
Numbers have no end. There is an infinite number of numbers. They never stop going higher and higher.
Is 454 divisible by 581?
A number is never divisible by one higher than it.
Can Chlorine oxidation number ever be negative two?
No, that is not possible for Chlorine. Some elements have more than one oxidation number, such as Iron, Mercury, Copper, etc, but Chlorine only wants to gain one electron. If it had a -2 charge, it would not be stable, so that would never happen.
Which element will never have a positive oxidation number?
Noble gases, such as helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, will never have a positive oxidation number. This is because they have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.
What is the chemical formula of lead IV ion?
lead (IV) ion is Pb4+ ion. Note that Pb4+ is never found as an ion- the (IV) is an oxidation number or oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of zinc?
Zn is a d block element. Oxidation number of it is +2.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in HNC?
HCN ( hydrogen cyanide) has the structurte H-C///N ( /// = triple bond). The oxidation number of an atom is the number of outer most electrons used in forming a bond. Not all the outer most electrons are used, some can remain as 'lone pairs'. Carbon ALWAYS has an oxidation no. of '+4' . It never varies. Hydrogen has an oxidaton number of '+1'. It is the nitrogen that has the variable oxidation. number. HCN forms the ions , H^(+) & CN^(-) Since carbon is always '4' and the overall charge of the ion is '-1' , then we can form a sum . 4 + N = -1 N = -1 -4 N = -5 is the oxid'n no/ of nitrogen in HCN. ( All five of nitrgens outer most electrons are involved in the bonding process. ). Compare with ammonia NH3 , Here nitrogen's oxid'n No. is '3' leaving a 'lone pair' of electrons not used in the outer most electron shell.
