Does the oxidation number change for the carbon atom to which the phosphate is attached? (i.e.,
does C3 in 3PG have a different oxidation number than C2 in 2PG?) If so, does it become higher
or lower?
Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation
number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1.
There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of -1.
Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation
number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1.
Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation
