Assign oxidation states to each atom in each element, ion, or compound. a. Ag b. Ag+ c

Problem 91Assign oxidation states to each atom in each element, ion, or compound. a) b) c) d) e) f) Step by step solutionStep 1 of 7Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers The oxidation number of a free element is always zero. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of oxygen in compounds is usually -2. Exceptions include because F is more electronegative than O, and due to the structure of the peroxide ion, which is . The oxidation number of a Group IA element in a compound is +1. The oxidation number of a Group IIA element in a compound is +2. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is 0. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.___________________________________________________________________________
