Oxidation number of Cr in CrO5?

6. This is because it is a peroxide, with a structure Cr(O)(O2)2, where the nominal ligands are O2- (-2 ox.number in oxides) and O22- (-1 ox.number in peroxides) which gives the Cr an oxidation number of +6. It is sometimes called Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide.


What is the oxidization state of oxygen?

The oxidation number of any free element is 0. So if it is oxygen by itself (e.g., O2) then the oxidation number/state is 0. In its compounds the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. This rule only stands if it isn't a peroxide such as H2O2 or Na2O2, in peroxide cases, the oxygen is -1.


What is the oxidation number of Na in Na2O2?

What is the oxidation number of S in H2 S?

+8.H2 has an oxidation of +1 (A total of +2)O5 has an oxidation of -2 (A total of -10).We do not know anything about the oxidation of S, so since we know H2SO5 isn't a complex ion, we can assume the overall oxidation number is 0.Therefore, the oxidation number of S = Oxidation of O5 - Oxidation number of H2.Since 10 - 2 = 8, Oxidation number of S is 8.(no, it did not)Sorry,Sulphur cannot have more than +6 oxidation number as it belongs to VI(A) group.In H2SO5, one peroxide bond is present. i.e., the oxidation number of 2 oxygen atoms is -2. (Compare hydrogen peroxide, H2O2)2 atoms of oxygen will get -1 oxidation number each. The remaining 3 atoms will have +2 oxidation number each. This is a special case. Oxidation number of each hydrogen atom is +1 only.So, finally the oxidation number of Sulphur is +6. [(+2)+(+6)+(-8) = 0]Hope you got it. (yes, it did so)


What is the oxidation number of oxygen when it is not in a peroxide?

The oxidation number (formal charge) on oxygen can be 0, -1/2, -1 or -2. The formal charge on oxygen in a peroxide is -1. Elemental oxygen exists as O2 or O3. The formal charge on all elements is 0. The formal charges on oxygen in an oxide and superoxide, respectively, are -2 and -1/2.
