Question

what is the oxidation number of ag in 2agbr​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the AgBr is a neutral molecule, the summation of charges on AgBr is Zero. So oxidation state of Ag will be “+1”. (2) .

Answer 2

Answer:

hey dear...GuD mOrNg...

Explanation:

It is important to know possible oxidation number of the other element of a molecule in order to find the oxidation state an element in a molecule.

Ex:

(1). In AgBr molecule if you are asked find the oxidation state of ‘Ag’. Then it is for you to know the possible oxidation state of ‘Br’.

‘Br’  is a group -VII element. In general group-VII elements shows -1 oxidation state with metals.

Calculation of oxidation state:

Let the oxidation state of ‘Ag’ be ” x”.

Since the AgBr is a neutral molecule, the summation of charges on AgBr is Zero.

Thus,

Charge on Ag + Charge on Br  = 0

x +(– 1) = 0

x -1 = 0

x = +1

So oxidation state of Ag will be “+1”.
