The oxidation number of oxygen in CO ₃ and Na ₂ O ₂ is
Options
- A3,2
- B1,0
- C0,1
- D-0.33,-1
Correct answer
D. -0.33,-1
Step-by-step solution
Let oxidation number of oxygen =x O.N. of oxygen in CO ₃=1+3 x=0 x= -1 3 or -0.33 Oxidation number of oxygen in Na ₂ O ₂ aligned & =2 1+2 x=0 & x=-1 aligned
