Chemistry · Electronic concepts of oxidation and reduction, redox reactions, oxidation number, rules for assigning oxidation number and balancing of redox reactions
An oxidation number can be:
An oxidation number can be:
- A. positive
- B. negative
- C. zero
- D. all of these
Step-by-step solution
Oxidation numbers can be positive (e.g., Na in NaCl is +1), negative (e.g., Cl in NaCl is -1), or zero (e.g., O in O2). Therefore, all three are possible.
