Question

What is the oxidation number of carbon in CH3OH?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation numbers of O and H are $ - 2\& + 1$ respectively. Hence the oxidation number of carbon in $C{H_3}OH$ is $ + 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

+2

Explanation:

Let the oxidation number of C be x

Oxidation numbers of O and H are −2 & +1 respectively.

∴x+3(+1)+(−2)+1=0

∴x+3−2+1=0

∴x=+2

Therefore, oxidation number of C in CH3OH is +2.
