22.6: Assigning Oxidation Numbers
- Last updated
- Save as PDF
- Page ID 53960
Moving from studying the element iron to iron compounds, we need to be able to clearly designate the form of the iron ion. An example of this is iron that has been oxidized to form iron oxide during the process of rusting. Although Antoine Lavoisier first began the idea of oxidation as a concept, it was Wendell Latimer (1893-1955) who gave us the modern concept of oxidation numbers. His 1938 book The Oxidation States of the Elements and Their Potentials in Aqueous Solution laid out the concept in detail. Latimer was a well-known chemist who later became a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Not bad for a gentleman who started college planning on being a lawyer.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers
The oxidation number is a positive or negative number that is assigned to an atom to indicate its degree of oxidation or reduction. In oxidation-reduction processes, the driving force for chemical change is in the exchange of electrons between chemical species. A series of rules have been developed to determine oxidation numbers:
- For free elements (uncombined state), each atom has an oxidation number of zero. \(\ce{H_2}\), \(\ce{Br_2}\), \(\ce{Na}\), \(\ce{Be}\), \(\ce{K}\), \(\ce{O_2}\), \(\ce{P_4}\), all have an oxidation number of 0.
- Monatomic ions have oxidation numbers equal to their charge. \(\ce{Li^+} = +1\), \(\ce{Ba^{2+}} = +2\), \(\ce{Fe^{3+}} = +3\), \(\ce{I^-} = -1\), \(\ce{O^{2-}} = -2\), etc. Alkali metal oxidation numbers \(= +1\). Alkaline earth oxidation numbers \(= +2\). Aluminum \(= +3\) in all of its compounds. Oxygen's oxidation number \(= -2\) except when in hydrogen peroxide \(\left( \ce{H_2O_2} \right)\), or a peroxide ion \(\left( \ce{O_2^{2-}} \right)\) where it is \(-1\).
- Hydrogen's oxidation number is \(+1\), except for when bonded to metals as the hydride ion forming binary compounds. In \(\ce{LiH}\), \(\ce{NaH}\), and \(\ce{CaH_2}\), the oxidation number is \(-1\).
- Fluorine has an oxidation number of \(-1\) in all of its compounds.
- Halogens (\(\ce{Cl}\), \(\ce{Br}\), \(\ce{I}\)) have negative oxidation numbers when they form halide compounds. When combined with oxygen, they have positive numbers. In the chlorate ion \(\left( \ce{ClO_3^-} \right)\), the oxidation number of \(\ce{Cl}\) is \(+5\), and the oxidation number of \(\ce{O}\) is \(-2\).
- In a neutral atom or molecule, the sum of the oxidation numbers must be 0. In a polyatomic ion, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in the ion must be equal to the charge on the ion.
Example \(\PageIndex{1}\)
What is the oxidation number for manganese in the compound potassium permanganate \(\left( \ce{KMnO_4} \right)\)?
The oxidation number for \(\ce{K}\) is \(+1\) (rule 2).
The oxidation number for \(\ce{O}\) is \(-2\) (rule 2).
Since this is a compound (there is no charge indicated on the molecule), the net charge on the molecule is zero (rule 6).
So we have:
\[\begin{align*} +1 + \ce{Mn} + 4 \left( -2 \right) &= 0 \\ \ce{Mn} - 7 &= 0 \\ \ce{Mn} &= +7 \end{align*}\nonumber \]
When dealing with oxidation numbers, we must always include the charge on the atom.
Another way to determine the oxidation number of \(\ce{Mn}\) in this compound is to recall that the permanganate anion \(\left( \ce{MnO_4^-} \right)\) has a charge of \(-1\). In this case:
\[\begin{align*} \ce{Mn} + 4 \left( -2 \right) &= -1 \\ \ce{Mn} - 8 &= -1 \\ \ce{Mn} &= +7 \end{align*}\nonumber \]
Example \(\PageIndex{2}\)
What is the oxidation number for iron in \(\ce{Fe_2O_3}\)?
\[\begin{align*} &\ce{O} \: \text{is} \: -2 \: \left( \text{rule 2} \right) \\ &2 \ce{Fe} + 3 \left( -2 \right) = 0 \\ &2 \ce{Fe} = 6 \\ &\ce{Fe} = 3 \end{align*}\nonumber \]
If we have the compound \(\ce{FeO}\), then \(\ce{Fe} + \left( -2 \right) = 0\) and \(\ce{Fe} = 2\). Iron is one of those materials that can have more than one oxidation number.
The halogens (except for fluorine) can also have more than one number. In the compound \(\ce{NaCl}\), we know that \(\ce{Na}\) is \(+1\), so \(\ce{Cl}\) must be \(-1\). But what about \(\ce{Cl}\) in \(\ce{NaClO_3}\)?
\[\begin{align*} \ce{Na} &= 1 \\ \ce{O} &= -2 \\ 1 + \ce{Cl} + 3 \left( -2 \right) &= 0 \\ 1 + \ce{Cl} - 6 &= 0 \\ \ce{Cl} - 5 &= 0 \\ \ce{Cl} &= +5 \end{align*}\nonumber \]
Not quite what we expected, but \(\ce{Cl}\), \(\ce{Br}\), and \(\ce{I}\) will exhibit multiple oxidation numbers in compounds.

Assigned oxidation States to atoms underlined in the compound (NH4)2HPO4?
#("NH"_4)_2"HPO"_4# is an ionic compound.
It consists of #"NH"_4^"+"# ions and #"HPO"_4^"2-"# ions, so we can calculate the oxidation numbers in each ion separately.
The critical oxidation number rules for this problem are:
- The oxidation number of #"H"# is usually +1.
- The oxidation number of #"O"# is usually -2.
- The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion equals charge on the ion.
(a) The oxidation numbers in #"NH"_4^"+""#
Per Rule 1 , the oxidation number of #"H"# is +1.
Write the oxidation number above the #"H"# in the formula:
#"N"stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")_4^"+"#
The four #"H"# atoms together have a total oxidation number of +4.
Write this number below the #"H"# atom:
#"N"stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")_4^"+"# #color(white)(m)stackrelcolor(blue)("+4")#
Per Rule 3 , the sum of all the oxidation numbers in #"NH"_4^"+"# must be +1.
Let #x =# the oxidation number of #"N"# . Then
#x = "1 - 4 = -3"#
There is only one #"N"# atom, so its oxidation number must be -3.
Write this number above and below the #"N"# .
#stackrelcolor(blue)("-3")("N")stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")_4^"+"# #stackrelcolor(blue)( "-3")""color(white)(l)stackrelcolor(blue)("+4")#
(b) The oxidation numbers in #"HPO"_4^"-2"#
Write the oxidation number above and below the #"H"# in the formula:
#stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")"P""O"_4^"-2"# #stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")#
Per Rule 2 , the oxidation number of #"O"# is -2.
Write this number above the #"O"# .
#stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")"P"stackrelcolor(blue)("-2")("O")""_4^"-2"# #stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")#
There are four #"O"# atoms, so their total oxidation number must be -8.
Write this number below the #"O"# .
#stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")"P"stackrelcolor(blue)("-2")("O")""_4^"-2"# #stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")""color(white)(m)stackrelcolor(blue)("-8")#
Per Rule 3 , the sum of all the oxidation numbers equals -2.
Let #y =# the oxidation number of #"P"# . Then
#1 + y - 8 = -2#
#y = "-2 + 7 = +5"#
There is only one #"P"# atom, so its oxidation number must be +5.
Write the oxidation number above and below the #"P"# .
#stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")stackrelcolor(blue)("+5")("P")stackrelcolor(blue)("-2")("O")""_4^"-2"# #stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")""stackrelcolor(blue)("+5")""stackrelcolor(blue)("-8")#
The oxidation number of #"P"# is +5.
(c) The oxidation numbers in #("NH"_4)_2"HPO"_4#
Now we put the ions together and get the oxidation numbers
#(stackrelcolor(blue)("-3")("N")stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")_4)_2stackrelcolor(blue)("+1")("H")stackrelcolor(blue)("+5")("P")stackrelcolor(blue)("-2")("O")_4#

Assign oxidation numbers to the underlined elements in each of the following species: N a H 2 P O 4 N a H S – – O 4 H 4 P – – 2 O 7 K 2 M n – –– – O 4 C a O – – 2 N a B – – H 4 H 2 S – – 2 O 7 K A l S – – O 4 ) 2 .12 H 2 O
N a h 2 p o 4 let the oxidation number of p be x. we know that, oxidation number of na = +1 oxidation number of h = +1 oxidation number of o = –2 + 1 n a + 1 h 2 x − 2 p o 4 then, we have 1 ( + 1 ) + 2 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( x ) + 4 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 1 + 2 + x − 8 = 0 ⇒ x = + 5 hence, the oxidation number of p is +5. n a h s – – o 4 then, we have 1 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( x ) + 4 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 1 + 1 + x − 8 = 0 ⇒ x = + 6 hence, the oxidation number of s is + 6. h 4 p – – 2 o 7 + 1 h 4 x − 2 p 2 o 7 then, we have 4 ( + 1 ) + 2 ( x ) + 7 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 4 + 2 x − 14 = 0 ⇒ 2 x = + 10 ⇒ x = + 5 hence, the oxidation number of p is + 5. k 2 m n – –– – o 4 + 1 k 2 x − 2 m n o 4 then, we have 2 ( + 1 ) + x + 4 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 2 + x − 8 = 0 ⇒ x = + 6 hence, the oxidation number of mn is + 6. c a o – – 2 then, we have + 2 c a x o 2 ( + 2 ) + 2 ( x ) = 0 ⇒ 2 + 2 x = 0 ⇒ x = − 1 hence, the oxidation number of o is -1. n a b – – h 4 + 1 n a x − 1 b h 4 then, we have 1 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( x ) + 4 ( − 1 ) = 0 ⇒ 1 + x − 4 = 0 ⇒ x = + 3 hence, the oxidation number of b is + 3. h 2 s – – 2 o 7 + 1 h 2 x − 2 s 2 o 7 then, we have 2 ( + 1 ) + 2 ( x ) + 7 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 2 + 2 x − 14 = 0 ⇒ 2 x = 12 ⇒ x = + 6 hence, the oxidation number of s is + 6. k a 1 ( s – – o 4 ) 2 .12 h 2 o + 1 3 + k a 1 ( x 2 − s o 4 ) 2 .12 + 1 − 2 h 2 o then, we have 1 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( + 3 ) + 2 ( x ) + 8 ( − 2 ) + 24 ( + 1 ) + 12 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 1 + 3 + 2 x − 16 + 24 − 24 = 0 ⇒ 2 x = 12 ⇒ x = + 6 or, we can ignore the water molecule as it is a neutral molecule. then, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms of the water molecule may be taken as zero. therefore, after ignoring the water molecule, we have 1 ( + 1 ) + 1 ( + 3 ) + 2 ( x ) + 8 ( − 2 ) = 0 ⇒ 1 + 3 + 2 x − 16 = 0 ⇒ 2 x = 12 ⇒ x = + 6 hence, the oxidation number of s is + 6..
