Chemistry-Oxidation Number
NEET Chemistry Oxidation Number Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Oxidation state of H in H2O | (i) -2 |
| (b) Oxidation state of O in O2 | (ii) 0 |
| (c) Oxidation state of Cl in HCl | (iii) +1 |
| (d) Oxidation state of S in SO4^2- | (iv) +6 |
A
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
B
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
C
a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
D
a-iii, b-ii, c-iv, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In H2O, H has an oxidation state of +1 (a-iii), O in O2 is 0 (b-ii), Cl in HCl has an oxidation state of -1 (c-i), and S in SO4^2- has an oxidation state of +6 (d-iv). These states align with the established rules for determining oxidation numbers.
