---|---|---|---|---|
Equals the charge of that ion
What does the sum of the oxidation number on a polyatomic ion must equal to?
|
Any chemical process in which elements undergo changes in oxidation number
What is a redox reaction?
|
Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 unless it is combined with F, in which the oxidation number is +1. When oxygen is in a peroxide then the oxidation number is -1.

Equals -1
Within compounds, Fluorine always equals what?
|
Element that loses one or more electrons and its oxidation number increases
What is the oxidized element?
|
Equals the charge of that ion
What does the oxidation number of a monatomic ion equal to?
|

What are the two types of redox reactions?
|
Hydrogen’s oxidation in most compounds is +1. Unless it is combined with a metal, then it is -1
What are the rule of oxidation in hydrogen?
|
Equal -2
Except with the present of Fluorine within compounds and in oxygen-oxygen bonds, Oxygen always equals what?
|
Element that gains one or more electrons and its oxidation number decreases.
What is the reduced element?
