(a)
Interpretation:
The oxidation number for nonmetal X in
Concept introduction:
The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an atom on formation of compound. A neutral molecule with identical elements have zero oxidation state.
Answer to Problem 1CE
The oxidation number for non metal X in
Explanation of Solution
In
Zero is the oxidation number for non metal X in
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidation number for non metal X in
Concept introduction:
The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an atom on formation of compound. A neutral molecule with different elements have elements present in different oxidation state.
