Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.75CQ
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
Determine the oxidation number of Br in Br2
Concept Introduction:
The rules for assigning oxidation number to elements are:
- For an element in its free state it is assigned an oxidation number of zero.
- Monatomic ions have oxidation number that is equal to charge of the monatomic ion.
- Alkali metals have +1 oxidation number, alkaline earth metals have +2 oxidation number and halogens are assigned -1 oxidation number.
- In most compounds H is assigned a +1 oxidation number and O is assigned a -2 oxidation number.
- For a neutral compound the summation of oxidation numbers of all elements in the compound is zero.
