Calculate the oxidation number of C in `CH_2 Cl_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

C in `CH_2 Cl_2`, Let the oxidation number of C in `CH_2 Cl_2` be x. Writing the oxidation number of each atom above its symbol.
`overset (x) (C)overset(+1)(H)_2overset(-1)(Cl)_2` (`because` number of H is +1 and that of Cl is -1)
`x+2(+1) +2 (-1)=0`. So x=0.
