Question
Chapter 15, Problem 76CP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Determine the oxidation number of Cr in CrO
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.
(b)
