Answer #1

A.) OH-

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of H =+1

the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms = -2+1=-1

B.) NH4+

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of H =+1

Oxidation number of N =-3

the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms = 4*+1+(-3) = +1

C.) SO42-

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of S =+6

the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms = 4(-2)+6 = -8+6=-2

D.) PO43-

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of P =+5

the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms = 4(-2)+5 = -8+5=-3

Oxidation Numbers The oxidation number of an element is the "charge" the element would have if all of its bonds were completely ionic; that is, if the electron pairs of each bond were transferred to the more electronegative atom. For monatomic ions the oxidation number is simply the charge of the ion. For covalently bonded elements the oxidation number is a bookkeeping device and does not mean that the element carries an actual charge. Determine the oxidation state for each...
