The sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound is zero. In glucose (C6H12O6), carbon is the most electronegative element and has an oxidation state of -4 (H=+1, O=-2). With six carbon atoms, each with an oxidation state of -4, the total oxidation state for carbon is zero.
In this ion the oxidation state of sulfur is 6+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen is 2-
Minimum oxidation number: -1 Maximum oxidation number: 1 Min. common oxidation no.: 0 Max. common oxidation no.: 1 I got this of a really cool website that has alot of infromation and useful facts about each element and trust me you'll use it a lot in chemistry. www.chemicool.com
SO4^2- has a net negative 2 charge.each O = 2-S = 6+
The oxidation state of oxygen in H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) is -1. Each hydrogen atom has an oxidation state of +1, so the total oxidation state must add up to zero in a neutral molecule.
The hydrogen atoms are each in the 1+ oxidation state. The oxygen is in it's 2- oxidation state.
Sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 in SO3^2-. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2.
The oxidation state of elemental mercury (Hg) is 0 because each atom in an element is considered to be in its elemental form with no charge.
In MnCl2, the oxidation number of Mn is +2, as it is in the +2 oxidation state. The oxidation number of Cl is -1 each, as it is typically in the -1 oxidation state when bonded to metals such as manganese.
In COH2, the oxidation state of C is +2, the oxidation state of O is -2, and the oxidation state of H is +1.
In Mg2P2O7, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +5, and oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. The sum of the oxidation states for each element in the compound must equal zero due to its neutrality.
In FeBr3, iron (Fe) has an oxidation state of +3 and bromine (Br) has an oxidation state of -1. Each bromine atom contributes -1 oxidation state, and since there are three bromine atoms, the total is -3, balancing the +3 oxidation state of iron for the compound to be neutral.
In CuCl2, the oxidation state of copper (Cu) is +2, and the oxidation state of chlorine (Cl) is -1. This is because the overall charge of the compound is 0, and there are two chloride ions each with an oxidation state of -1 to balance the +2 charge of copper.
In the compound MgBr2, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2 and bromine (Br) has an oxidation state of -1. This is because the overall charge of the compound is neutral, so the sum of the oxidation states of each element must equal zero.
Manganese has an oxidation state of +7, chlorine has an oxidation state of +7, and oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 in Mn(ClO4)3.
The sum of oxidation states in a neutral compound is zero. In glucose (C6H12O6), carbon is the most electronegative element and has an oxidation state of -4 (H=+1, O=-2). With six carbon atoms, each with an oxidation state of -4, the total oxidation state for carbon is zero.
The oxidation state for Ti in TiO2 is +4. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2, and there are two oxygen atoms in TiO2 making the total oxidation state for oxygen -4, so the oxidation state for Ti must be +4 to balance it out.
