The atoms in a pure element, i.e., Na, O2, and P4, have an oxidation number of zero. 2. The more-electronegative element in a binary molecular compound is assigned the number equal to the negative charge it would have as an anion. The less- www.geocities.com/yoshi120.geo/science electronegative atom is assigned the number equal to the positive charge it would have as a cation. 3. Fluorine, as the most electronegative element, always has an oxidation number of –1. 4. Oxygen is almost always a –2. Exceptions are peroxides, such as H2O2, where its oxidation number is –1, and halogens, such as OF2, where its oxidation number is +2. 5. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in all compounds containing elements that are more-electronegative than it, and a –1 in compounds with metals. 6. The sum of oxidation numbers of the atoms in a neutral compound is equal to zero. 7. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion. Rules 1 through 7 apply to covalently bonded atoms, but can also be assigned to atoms in ionic compounds. Section 7-3: Using Chemical Formulas Formula mass—sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in a formula Percentage composition—(mass of element in sample of compound / mass of sample of compound) * 100 = % element in compound Section 7-4: Determining Chemical Formulas Empirical formula—consists of the symbols for the elements combined in a compound, with subscripts showing the smallest whole-number mole ratio of the different atoms in the compound www.geocities.com/yoshi120.geo/science
