Rules for Assigning Oxidation States
- O.S. = 0 for elemental compounds
- Monatomic ions have O.S. = to their charge (see above for fixed charge monatomic ions)
- The sum of oxidations states in a compound = the overall charge of that compound
- Five reliable groups can be used for assigning atoms with variable oxidations states:
Groups I and II have the charge of their group number.
F = -1 (exception = F2)
H is almost always +1 (exceptions: H2, metal hydrides)
O is almost always -2 (exceptions: O2, O3, peroxides)
Halides (Cl, Br, I) are -1 except when bonded to O or F
