Find out the oxidation state of sodium in . |
|
Answer» omic molecules like have zero oxidation state. 2) The "oxidation number" of a "mono atomic" ion is equal to the charge present in the ion. 3) "Sum" of all "oxidation numbers" in a "neutral COMPOUND" is equal to VALUE "zero". 4) "Alkaline metal" have +1 oxidation number and "alkaline earth METALS" have +2 oxidation number. 5) Oxygen has -2 oxidation state but the oxidation number of oxygen in peroxide form is -1. 6) Oxidation number is Hydrogen is -1 but in binary metal hydride oxidation number of hydrogen is +1. 7) Oxidation number of HALIDE are always -1, unless they are in combination with an oxygen or fluorine. Let the oxidation state of Na be x. The oxidation state of oxygen, in case of peroxides, is -1 Therefore, Therefore, the "oxidation state" of "sodium" is +1. |
