What is Oxidation Number?
An oxidation number represents the charge an atom would have if all bonds were ionic. It's used to track electron transfer in redox reactions.
Domande frequenti
- What are common oxidation states?
- Hydrogen is usually +1, oxygen is usually -2, alkali metals are +1, and alkaline earth metals are +2. Halogens are typically -1.
- How do I determine oxidation numbers?
- Use oxidation rules and ensure the sum of all oxidation numbers equals the overall charge of the compound or ion.
