The oxidation number of oxygen in F(2)O ...

The oxidation number of oxygen in `F_(2)O` and `H_(2)O_(2)` are ......... and ......... respectively.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the oxidation numbers of oxygen in the compounds \( F_2O \) and \( H_2O_2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation number of oxygen in \( F_2O \) 1. **Identify the known oxidation state of fluorine**: Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element and has an oxidation number of \(-1\). 2. **Set up the equation**: In \( F_2O \), there are two fluorine atoms. Let the oxidation number of oxygen be \( x \). The equation based on the overall charge being zero is: \[ 2(-1) + x = 0 ...
