Question

Deduce the oxidation number of halogen Cl2O6 ii) O4F2??????​

Answer 1

Anomalous behavior of fluorine. 2. Hydrides, Oxides of group 17 elements and their ... All the halogens exhibit stable –1 oxidation state.

Answer 2

There are seven oxygen atoms, so the total charge is −2⋅7=−14 . So, two chromium atoms have a total oxidation number of +12 . Since one is not more electronegative than the other, we can divide the number by two to get one chromium's oxidation number. So, a chromium atom here has an oxidation number of +6 .
