Question

oxidation number of carbon is ze
ro in the compound

Answer 1

Answer:

alkyne has zero oxidation number

Answer 2

The oxidation number of carbon is zero in HCHO, CH₂Cl₂, C₆H₁₂O₆, C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

• Oxidation number of H = +1
• Oxidation number of Cl = -1
• Oxidation number of O = -2

Let us consider that the oxidation number of C is x

• In the case of HCHO

x+2(1)+(−2)=0

x=0

• In the case of CH₂Cl₂

x+2(+1)+2(−1)=0

x=0

• In the case of C₆H₁₂O₆

x+6(−2)+12(+1)=0

x=0

• In the case of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

12(x)+22(+1)+11(−2)=0

x=0

Since the oxidation number of all of the compounds is zero.

The oxidation number of carbon is zero in HCHO, CH₂Cl₂, C₆H₁₂O₆, C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.
