In a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation states is zero.Note that the sign of the oxidation states and the number of atomsassociated with each oxidation state must be considered. In H2O ,for example, each hydrogen atom has an oxidation state of +1 andeach oxygen atom has an oxidation state of 2 for a total of2(+1)+(-2)=0 .
Part A:
What is the oxidation state of an individual bromine atom in NaBrO3?
Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).
Part B:
What is the oxidation state of an individual nitrogen atom in NH2OH?
Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).
In an ion, the sum of the oxidation states is equal to the overallionic charge. Note that the sign of the oxidation states and thenumber of atoms associated with each oxidation state must beconsidered. In OH- , for example, the oxygen atom has an oxidationstate of -2 and the hydrogen atom has an oxidation state of +1, fora total of (-2)+(+1)=-1.
Part C:
What is the oxidation state of each individual carbon atom inC2O4^2- ?
Express the oxidation state numerically (e.g., +1).
