  1. Oxidation states of vanadium AH Chemistry, Unit 1(c)

  2. Aims • Illustrate the presence of several oxidation states for vanadium • Show how it is possible to change from one oxidation state to another

  3. What are “oxidation states”? • The actual charge of an atom if the atom is a monatomic ion, or the hypothetical charge assigned to an atom by certain rules

  4. Rules • Elements are 0 • Atoms of monatomic ions have charge of ion • O is -2 in most compounds • H is +1 in most compounds • F is -1 in all compounds • Sum of numbers in a compound is 0; in a polyatomic ion is charge of ion

  5. Example • Oxidation number of Cl in: • HClO4 (perchloric acid) • ClO3- (chlorate ion)

  6. The significance of transition metals • Transition metals exhibit variable oxidation states of differing stability • A change in oxidation state can bring about a change in colour

  7. Oxidation and reduction • Oxidation can be considered as an increase in oxidation number • Reduction can be considered as a decrease in oxidation number • Compounds with metals in a high oxidation state tend to be oxidising agents whereas compounds with metals in a low oxidation state are often reducing agents
