Question

how to find oxidation number of any compound
guys ans me ASAP
and with full detail

Answer 1

You assign oxidation numbers to the elements in a compound by using the Rules for Oxidation Numbers.

Explanation:

The oxidation number of a free element is always 0.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is 0.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

Answer 2

The oxidation number of a free element is always 0.The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
