Assigning Oxidation Numbers
Students will learn and apply rules for assigning oxidation numbers to elements in compounds and ions.
Key Questions
- Apply the rules for assigning oxidation numbers to determine the oxidation state of any element in a compound or ion.
- Analyze how changes in oxidation numbers indicate whether an element has been oxidized or reduced.
- Justify the assignment of specific oxidation numbers in complex polyatomic ions.
