  • Valency and oxidation number are different for an element. Valency of carbon is generally 4, however, the oxidation state may be-4,-2,0, +2,-1, etc. In the compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the oxidation number of carbon can be calculated as, Oxidation number of carbon =(2n_o - n_H)/( n_c) where, n_(H), n_o and n_c are number of respective atoms.

    A
    `CH_4`
    B
    `CH_3 OH`
