Question

average oxidation number of carbon on ethanal​

Answer 1

Answer:

sorry I don't know about this

Explanation:

I will think big

Answer 2

Answer:

And again there are two carbons in ethanal. Oxidation number of carbon which is connected to three hydrogens is −3; oxidation number of carbon which is connected to one hydrogen and one oxygen (but with double bond) is +1. How do we get answer −1 out of it? (Do we add −3+1 and divide it by 2?)

Overall, my question does not seem to concentrate on one of the carbons present in ethanol (or ethanal).
