SO4^2- has a net negative 2 charge.
each O = 2-
S = 6+
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-
The sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound is zero. In glucose (C6H12O6), carbon is the most electronegative element and has an oxidation state of -4 (H=+1, O=-2). With six carbon atoms, each with an oxidation state of -4, the total oxidation state for carbon is zero.
Copper: 2+Oxygen: 2-Nitrogen: 5+
Minimum oxidation number: -1 Maximum oxidation number: 1 Min. common oxidation no.: 0 Max. common oxidation no.: 1 I got this of a really cool website that has alot of infromation and useful facts about each element and trust me you'll use it a lot in chemistry. www.chemicool.com
O = -2 oxidation state H = +1 oxidation state
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-
As SO42- has an overall -2 charge, The Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state, so to balance and give an overall -2 charge, the Sulfur has to have a +6 oxidation state. (-2 x 4) + (s) = -2 s = +6
In S2O82-, each S atom has an oxidation number of +5. In SO42-, the oxidation number of S is also +5. There is no change in oxidation number for sulfur when transitioning from S2O82- to SO42-.
The oxidation state of S in SO42- is +6. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, so the total charge of -2 for sulfate ion requires sulfur to have an oxidation state of +6 to balance the charge.
The hydrogen atoms are each in the 1+ oxidation state. The oxygen is in it's 2- oxidation state.
Sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 in SO3^2-. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2.
Oxidation state of any element in its elemental state is 0
In MnCl2, the oxidation number of Mn is +2, as it is in the +2 oxidation state. The oxidation number of Cl is -1 each, as it is typically in the -1 oxidation state when bonded to metals such as manganese.
The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
There are three elements, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Carbon's oxidation number is -4, each hydrogen is +1 and oxygen is +2.
The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.
In Mg2P2O7, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +5, and oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. The sum of the oxidation states for each element in the compound must equal zero due to its neutrality.
