Question

Give the formula of a compound (given in list II) in which carbon exhibits an oxidation state of (given in list I):

Answer 1

$\left(a\right)$ $+4$ oxidation state is shown by $C{O}_2$ and $CC{l}_4$.

As O and Cl has valency of $-2$ and $-1$ respectively.

$\left(b\right)$ $+2$ oxidation state is shown by $CO$.

As O has valency of $-2$.

$\left(c\right)$ $-4$ oxidation state is shown by $C{H}_4$.

As H has valency of $+1$.
