Chapter 10 Oxidation Numbers With Manganese Ions Demo
Oxidation Number • The oxidation number is the charge on a single atom.
Oxidation Number • The oxidation number is the charge on a single atom. • Examples: Na+ (oxidation number = +1) Clˉ (oxidation number = -1) Al3+ (oxidation number = +3) O2ˉ (oxidation number = -2)
We can use the periodic table to determine oxidation numbers.
Determining Oxidation Numbers • Metals form positive ions (7+ is the highest positive oxidation number). • Nonmetals tend to form negative ions. • However other than the noble gases which have an oxidation number of zero, and fluoride (F-) which is always a 1-, all other nonmetals could have positive oxidation numbers as well.
We can use the periodic table to “predict” oxidation numbers • If we have the name of the ion a “prediction” is unnecessary. • Potassium ion • Iron (II) • Nitride • We can often predict the range of oxidation numbers of the positive monatomic ions other than groups 1 & 2, Ag, Cd, Zn, and Al.
What common ions can Iron form? Often the electron configuration can help us to understand why certain oxidation numbers form. Fe +2 Fe +3
Most transition metal elements have more than one positive ion. (However +2 is the most common oxidation number for metal ions). Fe +2 Fe +3
What oxidation numbers might we predict for Vanadium? V = [Ar]4s23d3 V2+ = [Ar]3d3 V5+ = [Ar] • This gives the range of possible oxidation numbers for Vandadium (V2+ through V5+)
What oxidation numbers might you predict for Manganese? (Mn)
The most common oxidation number for metal ions 2+ Mn+2 Mn +7
Each electron is harder to remove than the one before so sometimes losing electrons can be a gradual process. Mn +4 Mn +5 Mn +6 Mn +3 Mn+2 Mn +7
Electrons do not have to be lost one at a time. The process can be rather random. Mn +4 Mn +6 Mn Mn +2 Mn +7

Determining Oxidation Numbers • What is the oxidation number of nitrogen ([He]2s22p3) within a compound? • Would you predict -3? • Could nitrogen have a positive oxidation number? • How about +2 or maybe +5? • The fact is we can only guess as to what the oxidation number of nitrogen is within a compound unless we have some additional information.
Determining Oxidation Numbers • The best way to determine oxidation number of an element is to examine the formula of the compound that the element is in. • We then use some basic rules to help us make a determination as to the oxidation numbers of the elements that make up the compound.
Oxidation Number Rules • The oxidation number of all Group 1 metals (+1), Group 2 metals (+2), Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+, and Al3+ within compounds is a set value. • Hydrogen (H) has two possible oxidation numbers: • +1 when bonded to a nonmetal • -1 when bonded to a metal • The oxidation number of fluorine (F) is always -1. • In a compound thenonmetalclosest to fluorine is negative. • The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms (ions) in a neutral compound = 0. • The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms (ions) in a polyatomic ion = charge on the polyatomic ion.
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen? N2O • N2O is nitrogen (I) oxide • Commonly known as “laughing gas”.
