Question

oxidation number of c in HCOOH​

Answer 1

Answer:

02......………

Explanation:

.......……

Answer 2

Explanation:

as we know

the common oxidation number of some elements

like H=+1. O=-2

so we use it to get oxidation number of carbon

In molecule or compound sum of oxidation number is charge given to compound

so in

HCOOH. charge is 0

let oxidation number of C is x

then

+1+x-2-2+1=0

x=2

oxidation number of carbon(C)

is 2.
