The moon orbiting around the earth.
Answer:
+3
Explanation:
The oxygen all have a -2 oxidation state. (peroxides are exceptions)
The chemical structure is symmetrical. Both carbon are equivalent.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (oxidation state of oxygen) = charge of ion.
2 (oxidation state of carbon) + 4 (-2) = -2
oxidation state of carbon = +3
Answer:-
Thanks for not describing your question well enough
2Mg+ O₂= 2MgO
The charge of Mg is+2 and the charge of Oxygen is -2. 2 oxygen atoms will have a charge of -4 so the Mg atoms have to equal +4. A coefficient of 2 for the Mg atoms will balance it out
