Question

The oxidation number of oxygen in o2ptf6

Answer 1

The structure of O2PtF6 is known and there is an O2 unit. The O2 is best formulated as O2+ ( dioxygenyl) and the oxidation number of each O atom is +1/2. (+0.5). This is an interesting compound PtF6 is a very stong oxidising agent.

Answer 2

Answer:

O2[PtF6] is considered to be formed from O+2 and [PtF6]1−.

In O+12, oxidation state of O is 2x=+1.

x=+1/2

Explanation:

o2ptf6

pt is in +5    0.5

o2   pt     f6

x+     5  -   1

2x+5-6*1=0

-2x=1

The addition or subtraction of oxygen from a chemical can be used to define the phrases oxidation and reduction. Although, as will be explored later, this is not the most comprehensive definition, it is the most straightforward. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. A reduction is an oxygen loss.

How does oxidation affect oxygen?

In this process, the oxygen loses electrons while the lead atoms receive an electron (reduction) (oxidation). Magnesium is referred to as being "oxidised" because it loses electrons, but chlorine is referred to as being "reduced" because it gains electrons.
