More Oxidation State
What is the oxidation state for the following:
Note: If you're ever unsure of which element should have a + or - oxidation #, then think of which is more EN.
For our last example, was N or H more EN?
So if that is the case, do you think N would be more willing to gain or lose electrons?
And if that is the case, would N have a - or + oxidation state?
