Question

Find out oxidation state of sodium in Na²O¹​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thus, the oxidation state of sodium in Na2O2 is +1.

Answer 2

Let x be the oxidation station of sodium in Na²O¹

It contains a peroxide linkage in which each O atom has the oxidation number of -1.

$2x + 2( - 1) = 0 \\ x = + 1$

Thus, the oxidation state of sodium in

$n _{a} \: _{2} o _{2} is \: + 1$
