Find out the oxidation state of sodium in N a 2 O 2 .
Solution:
Let oxidation state of Na = x
The oxidation state of O = –1 (present as peroxide)
∴ 2x + 2(–1) = 0 ⇒ 2x – 2 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 2 ⇒ x = +1
∴ Oxidation state of Na inN a 2 O 2 is +1.
The oxidation state of O = –1 (present as peroxide)
∴ 2x + 2(–1) = 0 ⇒ 2x – 2 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 2 ⇒ x = +1
∴ Oxidation state of Na in
