Oxidation Numbers

The oxidation state of N in HNO2 is +3. This is because, in a neutral molecule like HNO2, the sum of the oxidation states of all atoms must equal zero. Since the oxidation state of H is +1 and O is -2, the oxidation state of N in HNO2 must be +3 to balance it out.

The oxidation number for iodine in IF is -1. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1 in compounds.

The overall oxidation number of an ion is indeed the charge. Na+, sodium is +1 ON, Cl-, chlorine is -1 ON. For a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of the consituent atoms. For example NH4+ ; N is -3, H is +1 so overall ON is +1 same as the charge.

The oxidation number of molybdenum (Mo) in the MoO4^2- ion is +6. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2, and there are four oxygen atoms in the persulfate ion (O4^2-), making the total charge -8. For the overall ion to have a charge of -2, molybdenum must have an oxidation number of +6 to balance the charges.

The oxidation number of hydrogen in NH3 is +1, and the oxidation number of nitrogen is -3. This is because hydrogen typically has an oxidation number of +1 and in compounds, nitrogen usually has an oxidation number of -3.

The oxidation number of antimony in Sb2O5 is +5. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2, so the total contribution of oxygen is -10. Since the compound is neutral, the sum of oxidation numbers must be zero, leading to +5 for antimony.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in NO2 is +4. This is because oxygen is typically assigned an oxidation number of -2, and since there are two oxygen atoms in NO2, the total oxidation state would be -4. Therefore, nitrogen must have an oxidation number of +4 to balance this out.

The oxidation number of phosphorus in HPO₃²⁻ is +5. The total charge of the ion is -2, and since there are 3 oxygen atoms with a charge of -2 each, the oxidation number of phosphorus must be +5 to balance the charges.

The oxidation number of chromium (Cr) in CrO4^2- is +6. Since each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2, and the overall charge of the polyatomic ion is -2, the oxidation number of chromium can be determined by solving the equation: (oxidation number of Cr) + 4(-2) = -2.

The oxidation number of N in NCl3 is +3. This is because the oxidation number of Cl is -1, and there are three Cl atoms in NCl3, so the overall charge must be balanced by N having an oxidation number of +3.

In oxalic acid (H2C2O4), the oxidation number of carbon is +3. This is because each of the two carbon atoms in oxalic acid has an oxidation state of +3 due to the presence of two C-O double bonds, which are typically assigned an oxidation state of +2 each and the two C-H single bonds with a typical oxidation state of -1 each.

The oxidation number of alkaline earth metals is typically +2. This is because they have two valence electrons, which they tend to lose to achieve a stable electron configuration.

The symbol for an element with oxidation number +2 is typically shown as a Roman numeral in parentheses following the element symbol. For example, iron(II) is Fe^2+ and copper(II) is Cu^2+.

There is no oxidation number for compounds, only the elements within compounds. The charge of SO4 (sulfate) is 2-. The oxidation number of each oxygen is 2-. The oxidation number of the sulfur in this compound is 6+.

The oxidation state of carbon in ethanal (C2H4O) is +2, as it is bonded to two more electronegative oxygens. The oxidation state of oxygen is -2, while the hydrogen atoms have an oxidation state of +1.

The oxidation number of each oxygen atom in ClO4- is -2. Since there are 4 oxygen atoms in ClO4-, and the total charge of the ion is -1, the oxidation number of oxygen must be adjusted to achieve the net charge, giving an oxidation number of +6 for the central chlorine atom.

The oxidation number of Ba is +2. In the ionic compound Ba2+, the oxidation number of Ba is still +2.

In CH3F H is +1 (this is not a bond to a reactive metal), F is -1 (F is alway -1 in its compounds), and C is then has the balancing -2, as overall the sum of the atomic oxidation numbers in a molecule is zero.

In NaClO2, the oxidation number of Na is +1, O is -2, and Cl is +3.

The oxidation state of K in K2O2 is +1. In this compound, each K atom has a +1 oxidation state and each O atom has a -1 oxidation state.

The oxidation number of Ti in TiO is +2. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2 and there is only one oxygen atom in TiO, so the oxidation number of Ti must be +2 to balance out the charges.

The oxidation number of xenon in XeF2 is +2. Xenon is less electronegative than fluorine, so the oxidation number of xenon is assigned as +2 in this compound.

The minimum oxidation number for nitrogen is -3.

The oxidation number of carbon in C2H4 is -3. This is because each hydrogen atom has an oxidation number of +1, and the overall molecule has a net charge of 0. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound must equal zero.

oxidation number of S is +6.It oxidize into SO4 ^-2
