2. What is the oxidation number of Na in Na2O?<br />

Since O = -2, the two Na must each be +1.<br />

3. What is the oxidation number of Cl in ClO¯?<br />

The O is -2, but since a -1 must be left over, then the Cl is +1.<br />

4. What is the oxidation number for each element in KMnO4?<br />

K = +1 because KCl exists. We know the Cl = -1 because HCl exists.<br />

O = -2 by definition<br />

Mn = +7. There are 4 oxygens for a total of -8, K is +1, so Mn must be the rest.<br />

5. What is the oxidation number of S in SO4 2¯<br />

O = -2. There are four oxygens for -8 total. Since -2 must be left over, the S must = +6.<br />

Please note that, if there is no charge indicated on a formula, the total charge is taken to be zero.<br />
