What is the oxidation number of each atom in sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3? Na = +1, H = -1, C = +2,0 = -2 Na --1, H=+1, C = 0, 0 = -2 Na=+1, H = +1, C = +4,0 = -2 Na=+1, H = -1, C = +6,0 = -2 Na = 0, H = 0, C = 0, 0 = 0
Expert Answer
According to the metal theory metals mostly have a positive oxidation state and since Na belongs to alkali metals, it's ox
