what is oxidation no of carbon
BavanaLand:
So unlike metals, which are almost always in a positive oxidation state, the oxidation state of carbon can vary widely, from -4 (in CH4) to +4 (such as in CO2). Here are some examples. (Don't forget that this is called a “formalism” for a reason. The charge on the carbon isn't really +4 or –4.
