What are the oxidation numbers of following molecules?
O2·− => in my book it says -1/2, but why???
OH·
OH-
H2O
IO3-
IO4-
C2H6 => H=6 C=-6
C2H5Cl
C2H5OF
C2H4O2
to the last three: I did not know what to write since I have to include the inductive effect, isnt it? How do I identify the oxidation number then?
I need quick help on this one please, it is exam relevant for my medical studies..
