Calculate the oxidattion numer of the atoms marked with (*)Compounds given below:
`Mg_(2)overset**(C)_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the oxidantion number of C in `Mg_(2)C_(3)`=x
`thereforeunderset(("forMg"^(2+)))(2xx(+2))+3xxx+=0thereforex=-(4)/(3)`
So ,the oxidation number of C in `Mg_(2)C_(3)`is `-(4)/(3)`.
