Flourine has an oxidation number of -1 one because it only needs one electron to become stable ( to have neon's stractures), Hydrogen is the same thing. one electron away from being stable. oxidation numbers of elements are their electric charges on the Periodic Table. O2(g) has an oxidation number of 0, along with all the diatomics, Oxyden in a compound has ON of of -2, H has +1, the rest you calculate using algebra.
They have 7 valence electrons, addition of 1 more electron will give them the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas and hence they generally have -1 oxidation number
(minus denotes addition of electron)
Note that with the exception of fluorine halogens can have oxidation numbers higher than one. For example in ClO4- ion the oxidation number of Cl is +7
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. It will accept one electron to form fluorine ion to attain noble gas configuration. Hence it has -1 oxidation number.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element. It cannot lose electron, hence it doesn't have any other oxidation number.
A fluorine atom has 7 valence (outer-shell) electrons. To fulfill the octet rule, it needs one more valence electron for a total of 8. This one extra electron in the fluoride ion causes a -1 charge.
Fluorine when in compounds always has an oxidation number of -1. It is the most electronegative element.
Always -1
The oxidation number for the ion fluoride Fl- is always -1 in compounds. If you meant the element fluorine F2, then the oxidation number is 0.
0 as it is a molecule of fluorine if anything is combined with fluorine then it has an oxidation number of -1
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.
-1 for each Fluorine +7 for Iodine
Always -1
fluorine oxidation number is -1
The oxidation number for the ion fluoride Fl- is always -1 in compounds. If you meant the element fluorine F2, then the oxidation number is 0.
0 as it is a molecule of fluorine if anything is combined with fluorine then it has an oxidation number of -1
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.
-1 for each Fluorine +7 for Iodine
oxidation state of Fluorine is always -1.
Fluorine's oxidation number is -1. Since there are four fluorine atoms, the total oxidation number for the fluorine portion of the molecule is -4. The carbon atomwould have to have an oxidation number of +4 so that the compound would have an overall oxidation number of 0.
In compounds fluorine, F, has an oxidation number of -1.
Aluminiums oxidation number is +3.Each fluorine has -1 number.
No. Fluorine has only two oxidation states. 0 in F2 and -1 in fluoride ion
Fluorine is a halogen. It shows only -1 as the oxidation number.
