exam 3 Flashcards
The oxidation state of an atom is
Zero. Examples: Na(s), O2(g), O3(g), Hg(l)
The oxidation state of a monatomic ion is
The same as its charge. Examples: Na+, Cl-
The oxidation state of Fluorine is
-1 in its compounds. Examples: HF, PF3
The oxidation state of oxygen is usually
-2 in its compound. Exception: peroxides (containing O2^2-) in which oxygen is -1. Examples H2O, CO2
The oxidation state of hydrogen is
+1 in its covalent compounds. Examples: H2O, HCL, NH3
