Q

what is the definition of redox

A

A chemical reaction that takes place between an oxidizing substance and a reducing substance. The oxidizing substance loses electrons in the reaction, and the reducing substance gains electrons.

Q

what is the definition of oxidation number

A

Oxidation Number is the charge the species in a molecule or ion would have if the bonding was 100% ionic.

Q

info card (read and recite)

A

1) Elements in their uncombined state have an oxidation number of zero.

2) The sum of all the oxidation numbers in an uncharged molecule is zero.

3) The sum of all the oxidation numbers in an ion is the charge on the ion.

4) The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 except in metal hydrides when it is -1.

5) Being the most electronegative element, fluorine (unlike the other halogens) always has the oxidation number -1, and can bring out the highest oxidation number in any element it reacts with.

6) The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 apart from in compounds with fluorine or in peroxides (-1).

7) The oxidation number of chlorine is -1 apart from in compounds with fluorine or oxygen

8).The oxidation number of all the group one and two metals is +1 and +2 respectively.

9) In any combination of two elements, the more electronegative one has the negative oxidation number.

26
Q

what is the oxidation number of :
S in Na2S4O6

27
Q

What is the problem with the oxidation number of sulfur in Na2S4O6?

A

S has an oxidation number of +2.5, cannot have ½ electron! But this method works for electron counting purposes
