Give the oxidation state of oxygen in H,O2

Answer» <p>Hydrogen peroxide is neutral. Thus, sum of oxidation numbers of all the atoms is 0.</p><p>Oxidation state of H = +1 </p><p>Let the oxidation state of O be x.</p><p>Therefore, 2*(+1) + 2*x = 0 =&gt; 2x = -2 =&gt; x = -1.</p><p>Answer: Oxidation state of oxygen in Hydrogen peroxide is -1. </p>
