Q20. Case Base Questions

The concept of electron transfer is found unable to explain the redox
changes or electron shift in case of covalent compounds. To explain these
changes a new concept, called oxidation number is introduced. Oxidation
number is defined as the charge that an atom of the element has in its ion or
appear to have when present in the combined state with other atoms. The
oxidation number of an atom in its free or elementary state or in any of its
allotropes is zero. e.g. the oxidation of H in H 2, S in S8, P in P4, O in O2 or O3,
C in diamond is zero. (4)

oxidation state ?
(a) N2H4 (b) NH3
(c) N3H (d) NH2OH
(ii) What is the oxidation number of Cr in Na 2Cr2O7 ?
(a) 2 (b) 6

(c) 10 (d) 16
(iii) The oxidation
 number of Mn and S in KMnO and Na S O respectively
4 2 2 3

(a) +7 and +2 (b) +7 and – 2
(c) +7 and +5 (d) +5 and +7
(iv) Among which of the following compounds, the oxidation state of
nitrogen is positive ?
