MCQ
The oxidation number of carbon in CH2​Cl2​ is
  • A
    0
  • B
    2
  • C
    3
  • D
    5

Answer

  1. 0

Explanation:

Let x be the oxidation state of C in CH2​Cl2​.

Since the overall charge on the complex is 0, the sum of oxidation states of all elements in it should be equal to 0.

Therefore, x + 2 + 2(−1) = 0
