∙ 12y agoThe sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must equal 0. The oxidation number of Ca is +2, so the oxidation number for each of the two C atoms must be -1. So the sum of +2 + 2(-1) = 0.

∙ 12y agoCa = +2 oxidation state
O = -2 oxidation state
H = +1 oxidation state
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIf you mean CaH2 (calcium hydride), the oxidation number of hydrogen is 1- (negative 1).

∙ 12y ago+2 bcoz o2 is -1 ox.no

What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in rm CaCO 3?
in CaCO3 carbon is in the 4+ oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of carbon-atom in graphites?
Graphite is pure carbon.So it has 0 oxidation state.
What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in kno3?
There are NO carbon (C) atoms in potassium nitrate (KNO3). B.t.w. atoms always have an oxidation state to be zero.
Which atom in the compound K2C2O4 has a positive oxidation state?
In K2C2O4 (potassium oxalate) both potassium and carbon have positive oxidation states. Potassium's is 1+ and carbon's is 3+.
What is terminal oxidation?
Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.

+3
Why is carbon dioxide not good reducing agent as carbon monoxide?
The carbon atom in carbon dioxide has an oxidation state of 4+ (It's missing 4 electrons.) The carbon atom in carbon monoxide has an oxidation state of 2+ (It's only missing two electrons.) A reducing agent is something that will give electrons to another substance. Carbon dioxide has less electrons to give than carbon monoxide, making it not as good of a reducing agent.
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen atom cyanide ion?
Cyanide ion is an anion. Nitrrogen atom shows -3 oxidation number.
What is the used to determine the number of each atom in an ionic formula?
Oxidation state is what determines the number of each atom. This is in the ionic formula.
