Question

oxidation number of carbon in glucose molecule

Answer 1

So the overall oxidation state of carbon atoms in glucose molecule is zero. Therefore, oxidation states of all carbon atoms are +1,0,0,0,0,-1 respectively. Since the addition of oxidation states of all carbon atoms is 0, the overall oxidation state of carbon atoms in glucose molecule is zero

Answer 2

General oxidation state of O, OH & H are -2, -1 & +1 respectively. So the overall oxidation state of carbon atoms in glucose molecule is zero.
