NEET Chemistry Oxidation Number MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about oxidation numbers is correct?
The oxidation number of chromium in Cr2O7^2– is +6.
The oxidation number of sulfur in SO3^2– is +6.
Oxidation numbers can only be assigned to elements in their ionic form.
The oxidation number of manganese in MnO4– is +4.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The text indicates that the oxidation state of chromium in Cr2O7^2– is +6, while sulfur in SO3^2– has an oxidation state of +4, not +6. Oxidation numbers can be assigned to elements in both ionic and molecular forms, and the oxidation number of manganese in MnO4– is +7, not +4.
