Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation number is an integer that represents the number of electrons that an atom receives or makes available to others when it forms a given compound.
The oxidation number is positive if the atom loses electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to accept them. And it will be negative when the atom gains electrons, or shares them with an atom that has a tendency to give them up.
Chemical compounds are electrically neutral. That is, the charge that all the atoms of a compound contribute must be globally null. That is, when having positive or negative charges in a compound, their sum must be zero.
There are some rules for determining oxidation numbers in compounds. Among them it is possible to mention:
- Hydrogen (H) has an oxidation number +1 with nonmetals and - 1 with metals.
- Oxygen (O) presents the oxidation number -2
- Fluorine F has a unique oxidation state -1
Then:
- NOF: N+(-2)+(-1)=0 → N=3 → oxidation number of nitrogen (N) is +3, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- ClF₅: Cl + 5*(-1)=0 → Cl= 5 → oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is +5 and oxidation number of fluorine (F) is -1.
- H₂SO₃: 2*(+1)+S+3*(-2)=0 → S=4 → oxidation number of hydrogen (H) is +1, oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -2 and oxidation number of sulfur (S) is +4.
Answer : The incorrect statements are:
(A) When two nonmetals react, the compound formed is ionic.
(B) Two nonmetals can undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Explanation :
Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.
The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.
The two nonmetals can not undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.
Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.
The metal-nonmetal reaction can always be assumed to be an oxidation-reduction reaction.
For example : 
In this reaction, sodium shows oxidation because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (+1) and and chlorine shows reduction because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (-1).
Hence, the incorrect statements are, (A) and (B)
