Question

what is the n- factor of O2...???​

Answer 1

Answer:2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The n-factor of $O_{2}$ is $4$

Explanation:

• n-factor:- n-factor has a large significance generally in physical chemistry regarding solving numerical problems. The n-factor is defined by redox reaction as a change in its oxidation number or reduction number on both sides of the reaction n-factor of oxygen can be calculated by finding its valency.

For calculating the n-factor of (oxygen)  $O_{2}$ first, they should find the valency of one oxygen atom.

So, the valency of oxygen is $2$ because it has only $2$ electrons in its outermost shell.

The n-factor of $O$ is $2$ and

hence, the n-factor of $O_{2}$ is $4$.
