Calculation of the oxidation state of copper in cuprus oxide |
|
Answer» An example of a +2 OXIDATION STATE is CuO, where oxygen has an oxidation NUMBER of -2 and therefore COPPER has the oxidation number of +2 to balance out the MOLECULE. An example of a +1 oxidation state is Cu2O, where, once again, oxygen's oxidation state is -2 and so to balance out the molecule, each copper atom is +1. Follow Me ❤❤ |
