Question

what is the oxidation state of oxygen in superoxide

Answer 1

Oxidation state of oxygen in superoxides is -1

Answer 2

Here is your answer



⏩In contrast to oxide ions, the oxygen atoms in the peroxide ion have an oxidation state of −1. The simplest stable peroxide is hydrogen peroxide. Superoxides, dioxygenyls, ozones and ozonides are considered separately.


⏩Superoxide is a compound that contains a superoxide ion in it with a chemical formula . The valence number of superoxides as a whole is 1 and the oxidation number is -1. So for each oxygen atoms the oxidation number is -1/2.


⏩The guidelines for assigning oxidation states (numbers) are given below: The oxidation state of any element such as Fe, H2, O2, P4, S8is zero (0). The oxidation state of oxygen in its compounds is -2, except for peroxides like H2O2, and Na2O2, in which the oxidation state for O is -1.
