        Help!  

Question
Answer
1. free...   1. free elements have an oxidation state = 0 ex. Na = 0 and Cl2 = 0 in 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g)  
🗑
2. monoatomic...   2. monoatomic ions have an oxidation state equal to their charge ex. Na = +1 and Cl = -1 in NaCl  
🗑
3a. the sum (not polyatomic)...   3a. the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a compound is 0  
🗑
3b. the sum (polyatomic)...   3b. the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge of the ion. ex. N = +5 and O = -2 in NO3 -1, (+5) + 3(-2) = -1  
🗑
4a. Group I...   4a. Group I metals have an oxidation state of +1 in all their compounds  
🗑
4b. Group II...   4b. Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2 in all their compounds  
🗑
5. in their compounds, nonmetals...   5. in their compounds, nonmetals have oxidation states according to the table below (higher takes priority) F -1, H +1, O -2, Group 7A -1, Group 6A -2, Group 5A -3  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
