Oxidation State
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years ago

Oxidation state indicates the degree of oxidation for an atom in a chemical compound; it is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were completely ionic. Oxidation states are typically represented by integers, which can be positive, negative, or zero.

  1. The oxidation number of a free element is always 0.
  2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
  3. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
  4. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.
