IB DP Chemistry: SL復(fù)習(xí)筆記9.1.2 Deducing Oxidation Numbers

Category: IB課程, 教材筆記, 福利干貨 Date: 2022年8月4日下午4:28

The oxidation numbers of all other atoms in their compounds can vary
By following the oxidation number rules, the oxidation number of any atom in a compound or ion can be deduced
The position of an element in the periodic table can act as a guide to the oxidation state

Oxidation Numbers & The Periodic Table

State the oxidation number of the atoms in blue in these compounds or ions

a)?P₂O₅

b)?SO₄^2-

c)?H₂S

d)?Al₂Cl₆

e)?NH₃

f)?ClO₂^-

Answers:

1.6-Electrochemistry-Table-2_Oxidation-Numbers

Are oxidation numbers always whole numbers?

The answer is yes and no
When you try and work out the oxidation of sulfur in the tetrathionate ion?S₄O₆^2-?you get an interesting result!

9.1.2-sulfur-in-the-tetrathionate-ion

The oxidation number of sulfur in S₄O₆^2-?is a fraction

The fact that the oxidation number comes out to +2.5 does not mean it is possible to get half an oxidation number
This is only a mathematical consequence of four sulfur atoms sharing +10 oxidation number
Single atoms can only have an integer oxidation number, because you cannot have half an electron!
