Q & A

What is the definition of oxidation numbers (biloks)?

Oxidation numbers, or 'biloks,' refer to the charge that an atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. It helps in determining how electrons are distributed in molecules and ions.

What is the oxidation number of an element in its free form?

In its free or elemental form, the oxidation number of an element is always zero. Examples include H2, O2, and Cl2, where the oxidation number is zero.

How do you determine the oxidation number for a compound's total oxidation state?

For a compound, the total oxidation number is always zero. For example, in H2SO4 and KMnO4, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms equals zero.

What are the typical oxidation numbers for hydrogen and oxygen in compounds?

Hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1, and oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2 in most compounds. Exceptions include peroxides where oxygen has an oxidation number of -1.

What are the oxidation numbers of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals in compounds?

Alkali metals (group 1A) have an oxidation number of +1, while alkaline earth metals (group 2A) have an oxidation number of +2 in their compounds.

How are oxidation numbers calculated in polyatomic ions?

In polyatomic ions, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms equals the charge of the ion. For example, in NO3-, the total oxidation number equals -1.

What are some exceptions to typical oxidation states for oxygen?

Oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2, but in peroxides, it has an oxidation number of -1. In compounds like OF2, where oxygen is bonded to a more electronegative element, it can have an oxidation number of +2.

How do you determine the oxidation number of elements in ammonium and phosphate ions?

In the NH4+ ion, nitrogen has an oxidation number of -3, and in the PO43- ion, phosphorus has an oxidation number of +5.

What is the oxidation number of manganese in MnO4-?

In MnO4-, the oxidation number of manganese is +7, calculated by ensuring the total oxidation number equals the ion's charge (-1).

What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in various nitrogen-containing compounds?

In compounds like HNO3, HNO2, N2O, NO, and NO2, the oxidation numbers of nitrogen are +5, +3, +1, +2, and +4, respectively. The lowest oxidation number of nitrogen is found in N2O.
