Determine the oxidation numbr of C in the following : C_(2)H_(6),C_(4)H_(10),CO,cO_(2)and HCO_(3)^(-)

Determine the oxidation numbr of C in the following : C_(2)H_(6),C_(4)

1.	Determine the oxidation numbr of C in the following : C_(2)H_(6),C_(4)H_(10),CO,cO_(2)and HCO_(3)^(-)
Answer» Solution :O.N of C =-3 in `C_(2)H_(6)-2.5 in C_(4)H_(10)+2 in CO+4 in 4 in CO_(2) and +4 in HCO_(3)^(-)`
