Question 25

Rules for assigning oxidation states

Answer 25

1. The oxidation state of an atom in a free element is 0. 2. The oxidation state of a monoatomic ion is equal to its charge. 3. The sum of the oxidation states of all atoms in: - a neutral molecule or formula unit is 0. - an ion is equal to the charge of the ion. 4. In their compounds, metals have positive oxidation states. - Group 1A metals always have an oxidation state of +1. - Group 2A metals always have an oxidation state of +2. 5. In their compounds, we assign nonmetals oxidation states according to the table on the right. Entries at the top of the table take precedence over entries at the bottom of the table.
