What is the oxidation number for peroxide?

The oxidation number of each oxygen atom in peroxide is -1.


It may be possible that oxidation number of oxygen in ko3 is13?

The oxidation number of oxygen in compounds is typically -2, unless it's a peroxide where it is -1. In KO3, the oxidation number of potassium is +1, so for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation number of oxygen would have to be -2.


What is peroxides oxidation number?

Peroxide iion is a anion. O shows the -1 oxidation number.


What is the usual oxidation number for oxygen in a compound?

The usual oxidation state for oxygen in a compound is -2.


In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of while oxygen's oxidation number is -2.?

In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 while oxygen has an oxidation number is -2.


Oxidation number of O in K2O2?

The oxidation number of oxygen in K2O2 is -1. Each oxygen atom in peroxide (O2^2-) has an oxidation number of -1.


In the compound Fe2O3 iron's oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is .?

Usually, oxygen has an oxidation of -2 (that is unless in a compound with peroxides or halogens).


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.


In the compound Al aluminum's oxidation number is plus 3 and oxygen's oxidation number is?

In the compound Al₂O₃, aluminum has an oxidation number of +3, and oxygen has an oxidation number of -2. This gives a total charge of zero for the compound, as it should be electrically neutral.


What is the oxidation number O in cao2?

-1. In simple inorganic compounds other than peroxides and superoxides, oxygen almost always has an oxidation number of -2, but since calcium cations always have an oxidation number of +2, in this compound, the two oxygen atoms must have only -1 charge each. This compound is calcium peroxide, one of the exceptions noted above.


What is the oxidation number of Na in Na2O2?

+1 for each Na -1 for oxygen (as it is peroxide)
