Question

Indicate the oxidation state for each of the following:

Answer 1

• P2H2 Oxidation State - Diphosphene

       P2H2 has an oxidation number of +1. In P2H2, the oxidation    

        number of H is -1

• H2C2O4 Oxidation State - Oxalic Acid

       C has an oxidation number of +3 in H2C2O4. O has an oxidation

        number of -2 in H2C2O4. H2C2O4 has an oxidation number of +1.

• CrO2 Oxidation State - Chromium(IV) Oxide

         CrO2 has an oxidation number of +4.

Explain oxidation?

The oxidation state, also known as the oxidation number, is an atom's hypothetical charge if all of its bonds to other atoms were fully ionic.

The sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in an ion equals the ion's charge.

A substance's more electronegative element is given a negative oxidation state. The one that is less electronegative is given a positive oxidation state.
