Oxidation Number Of Cf2cl2
What is the oxidation number of carbon in CF2Cl2? 3
Or Carbon Oxidation Number Z.
The number of fluorine and chlorine oxidation is 1.
Z + 2 (1) +2 (1) = 0
Z (22) = 0
So Z + 4.
Since Cl and F will all be 1 and the sum must be 0, C must be +4.
I didn't really understand what my chemistry teacher, Gervard Gallego, taught me. Sorry I don't know!
