Question:
What are the 6 rules to deduce the oxidation number of any atom or ion by oxidaion?
Author: Phillanie JacobsAnswer:
1. Oxidation number of uncombined elements is zero 2. In compounds many atoms or ions have fixed oxidation numbers 3.The oxidation number of an element in a monatomic ion is always the same as the charge 4. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a compound is zero 5. Sum of oxidation number in an ion is equal to the charge on the ion 6. Either a compound or an ion, more electronegative elements is given negative oxidation number
