What is the oxidation number of K in KH2PO4?

Answer 1

The oxidation number of hydrogen in KH is -1, because the only oxidation number for potassium in a simple inorganic compound is +1. A hydrogen atom can complete its outer electron shell by adding one electron acquire the electron configuration of helium, and this is what happens during the formation of alkali metal hydrides such as KH.

Answer 2

The oxidation number of hydrogen in potassium hydride is -1, because hydrogen has a much higher electronegativity than potassium, even though in most of its compounds hydrogen is more likely to have an oxidation number of +1.

Answer 3

The oxidation number of K in KH2PO4 is +1. Since hydrogen (H) is typically assigned an oxidation number of +1 and oxygen (O) is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, the sum of the oxidation numbers in KH2PO4 must equal zero to balance the overall charge of the compound. This makes the oxidation number of potassium (K) +1.

Answer 4

It largely depend on what H is bonded with. Usually, its +1, however, in the case of metal hydrides, it would be -1.

Answer 5

with a -1 oxidation it is Hydride ion H1-

Answer 6

Pottasium has plus 1 state.It is common to every compound.

Answer 7

It has three Oxidation numbers.They are +!,-1 and zero.
