Answer #1

Oxidation number of H is +1 when bonded to non-metal and -1 when bonded to a metal.

Oxidation number of oxygen is always -2, except in peroxides.

Oxidation number of alkali metals is usually +1, and alkline earth metal is +2.

Calculation of Oxidation number of unknown element in the compound:-

Sum of oxidation numbers of all elements = charge on the compound

1) K2CO3

(+1)*2 + x + (-2)*3 = 0

therofore, x = +4

1) K2CO3

K: +1

C: +4

O: -2

2) NH4+1

N: -3

H: +1

3) AgNO3

Ag: +1

N: +5

O: -2

4) CO2

C: +4

O: -2
