The correct Answer is:
To determine in which compound the oxidation state of oxygen is +2, we will analyze each of the given options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Water (H2O) 1. **Identify oxidation states**: In H2O, hydrogen (H) has an oxidation state of +1. 2. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of oxygen be \(X\). The overall charge of the molecule is 0. \[ 2(+1) + X = 0 \] 3. **Solve for \(X\)**: \[ 2 + X = 0 \implies X = -2 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of oxygen in H2O is -2. ### Step 2: Analyze Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) 1. **Identify oxidation states**: In H2O2, hydrogen (H) again has an oxidation state of +1. 2. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of oxygen be \(X\). The overall charge of the molecule is 0. \[ 2(+1) + 2X = 0 \] 3. **Solve for \(X\)**: \[ 2 + 2X = 0 \implies 2X = -2 \implies X = -1 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of oxygen in H2O2 is -1. ### Step 3: Analyze Dioxygen Difluoride (O2F2) 1. **Identify oxidation states**: In O2F2, fluorine (F) has an oxidation state of -1. 2. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of oxygen be \(X\). The overall charge of the molecule is 0. \[ 2X + 2(-1) = 0 \] 3. **Solve for \(X\)**: \[ 2X - 2 = 0 \implies 2X = 2 \implies X = +1 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of oxygen in O2F2 is +1. ### Step 4: Analyze Oxygen Difluoride (OF2) 1. **Identify oxidation states**: In OF2, fluorine (F) has an oxidation state of -1. 2. **Set up the equation**: Let the oxidation state of oxygen be \(X\). The overall charge of the molecule is 0. \[ X + 2(-1) = 0 \] 3. **Solve for \(X\)**: \[ X - 2 = 0 \implies X = +2 \] 4. **Conclusion**: The oxidation state of oxygen in OF2 is +2. ### Final Answer The oxidation state of oxygen that is +2 is found in **OF2**.
