What will be the oxidation state of carbon in carboxylic acid |
|
Answer» The first carbon in acetic acid, or CH3COOH , has an oxidation number of -3 . ... By comparison, the carbon on the right will lose all the electrons it contributes to the bonds with oxygen because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. As a result, the right carbon will have an ON of +3. Oxidation State of Carbon can vary widely from -4 to +4 (such as in CO2), It is ? because Carbon is always in a positive Oxidation State.??? Ans me ???????? Plz ans |
