Give the oxidation state of oxygen in H,O2

Answer»

Hydrogen peroxide is neutral. Thus, sum of oxidation numbers of all the atoms is 0.

Oxidation state of H = +1

Let the oxidation state of O be x.

Therefore, 2*(+1) + 2*x = 0 => 2x = -2 => x = -1.

Answer: Oxidation state of oxygen in Hydrogen peroxide is -1.
