H is +1, F is -1, therefore C is -2 ( the sum of the oxidation numbers of the elemnts in an electronically neutral atom is defined as zero)

What is the oxidation number of CH3F?

Oxidation numbers are a characteristic of individual atoms within a molecule, not of the molecule itself. In fluoromethane, the compound given by formula in the problem statement, carbon is assigned an oxidation number of +4 and each hydrogen or fluorine atom is assigned an oxidation number of -1. Note, however, that the compound is covalently bonded, so that these oxidization numbers do not represent complete transfer of electrons from the carbon atom to the other atoms.


What is the oxidation number for CH2Cl2?

In CH3F H is +1 (this is not a bond to a reactive metal), F is -1 (F is alway -1 in its compounds), and C is then has the balancing -2, as overall the sum of the atomic oxidation numbers in a molecule is zero.

What is the oxidation number of acetate?

The oxidation number of acetate (CH3COO-) is -1. The carbon atom has an oxidation number of +3, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation number of +1, and the oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -2.


What is the oxidation number of H2CO2?

The oxidation number of each hydrogen in H2CO2 is +1, while the oxidation number of each carbon in CO2 is +4. This is because hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2.

What is the oxidation number of nitrosyl?

The oxidation number of nitrosyl (NO) is +1. Nitrogen typically has an oxidation number of -3, and oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2. In NO, nitrogen has a -3 oxidation number and oxygen has a -2 oxidation number, leading to an overall oxidation number of +1 for the nitrosyl ion.


What is the oxidation number for Nb in NbO2?
