Briefly describe 3 of the 5 oxidation rules.
The second rule is the ion chare rule. This rule states that the oxidation number of an element is formed by its charge. For example, halogens main charge is -1 because they only need to gain one electron to be happy, so it is -1 when it is bonded with a normal metal. The third rule is the zero sum rule. This rule states that the oxidation numbers in a compound must come together to form zero. The fourth rule states that there is almost a mini pattern of oxidation numbers. Group 1 elements have the oxidation number of +1. Alkaline earth metals have the oxidation number +2. Oxygens main oxidation number is -2, unless it is bonded with flourine which then it’s oxidation number is -1. And halogens, when bonded with a metal have an oxidation number of -1.
