Answer: The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of −2.
hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D Explanation:
4Ag + 2H2S + O2 -> 2Ag2S + 2H20 i’m pretty sure that’s correct
Solution:- Hypochlorite ion has one Cl and one O atom. Cl has 7 valence electrons and O has 6 valence electrons. Since there is one negative charge on the ion,
total valence electrons = 7 + 6 +1 = 14
(note:- if there is negative charge then it is added and if there is positive charge then it is subtracted while calculating the valence electrons)
Both Cl and O atoms wants to complete their octet and so for this we put a single bond between them. Single bond means two electrons, so the remaining electrons would be 14 - 2 = 12
It means 12 electrons will be placed as lone pair of electrons. To complete the octet, we put 6 dots around each of the atom. Oxygen is more electron negative than Cl, so we show the -1 charge for oxygen.
