Q

Usually what is the oxidation state of chlorine in a compound?

A

-1

22
Q

When does the oxidation state of chlorine differ?

A

When it’s with fluorine and/or oxygen.

23
Q

Usually what is the oxidation state of hydrogen?

A

+1

24
Q

When does the oxidation state of hydrogen differ and what is it then?

A

When it’s bonded to a metal, it’s -1.

25
Q
