Rules for assigning Oxidation Numbers


1. 2. 3. 4. The atoms in a pure element have an oxidation number of zero. Alkali metals always have an oxidation number of +1; alkaline earth metals always have an oxidation number of +2. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1. Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 in almost all compounds. Exceptions are in compounds with a halogen, when it has an oxidation number of +2, and in peroxides (H2O2), when it has an oxidation number of -1. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in almost all compounds except when combined with a metal when it has an oxidation number of -1. The sum of all the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is zero. The sum of all the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

5. 6. 7.

ASSIGNING OXIDATION NUMBERS


A compound has a total charge of ZERO so set your equation equal to ZERO. Assign the variable X to your unknown oxidation number.

Given a compound, find the oxidation number of every element you know for certain. Then solve for others using algebra. a. KMnO4

b.

CaCO3

What is in common with the elements in the compound?


H2+1 O1-2 Mg1+2F2-1

CRISS-CROSS METHOD to determine the chemical formula


1. 2. Write the symbols for the elements side by side. Write the oxidation states of each element to the top right of the symbol. When the nonmetal is combines with a metal, the oxidation state will always be the first number (the negative one) in the list of oxidation states. 3. Criss cross the charges DOWN and use the absolute values (-2 becomes 2). 4. Check to make sure the subscripts are the lowest ratio.

Practice Criss-Cross Method

2. K and P

3. Al and S

Molecular Prefix Number of Atoms 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

HOW TO NAME MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS According to the number of atoms of each element, state the prefix for the number of each atom before the name of the element and end the nonmetal in ide. For example: P2O5 = CO2 = The prefix mono only need to be used for the second half of the compound NOT the first element.
