Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
CaO
Step 2
Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen
which are Ca 2+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
They are already balanced out
Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
CaO
Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
A
l
O
Step 2
Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen
Which are Al 3+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges
Al 3+ O 2-
Al 3+ O 2-
= 6 + O 2-
= 6-
Step 4
If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts
Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
- 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.
<h3>Explain oxidation?</h3>
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.
