Which of the following has zerooxidation number fro every atom ?
Answer»
Polyatomic ion Polytomic MOLECULE Polyatomic element None of these
Solution :Polyatomic ELEMENTS such as `H_2, O_2, O_3, P_(4)`, and ` S_8` have two or more identicla atoms per molecule . In FREE elements (that is, in the uncombined state), each ATOM has an oxidation number of zero as bonded atoms have zero electronegativity difference.
