What are the oxidation numbers of hydrogen OH-?

The oxidation number of hydrogen in the hydroxide ion (OH-) is -1. This is because in this compound, oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 and there is only one hydrogen atom, so its oxidation number is -1 in order to balance the overall charge of -1 for the ion.


What are the oxidation numbers of Al OH 4-?

The oxidation number of Al is +3 in the complex ion Al(OH)4-. Each hydroxide ion (OH-) carries a charge of -1, so the total charge of the complex ion is -1. Since there are four hydroxide ions, the aluminum ion must have an oxidation number of +3 to balance the charges.


What are the oxidation numbers in sr(oh)2?

In Sr(OH)2, strontium (Sr) has an oxidation number of +2 because it belongs to Group 2 of the periodic table. Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation number of -2, so each hydroxide ion (OH-) has an oxidation number of -1.

Does a metal or nonmetal have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?

A metal typically has only positive oxidation numbers, while a nonmetal can have both positive and negative oxidation numbers. Metals tend to lose electrons (positive oxidation numbers) to form cations, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to form a variety of oxidation states.
