Answer:
CO- So unlike metals, which are almost always in a positive oxidation state, the oxidation state of carbon can vary widely, from -4 (in CH4) to +4 (such as in CO2)
CO2- 4 : The oxidation number of c in co2 is 4.
HCO3- +4 : in HCO3 the oxidation no . of C is +4
C2H6- -3 : as it is ethane the oxidation no. of C is -3
C4H10- -2.5 : it is propane and has the oxidation no. -2.5
