Chapter 18.2, Problem 1CT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

What if oxidation state for oxygen was defined as 1 instead of 2 and what effect would it have on the oxidation state of hydrogen should be discussed?

Concept Introduction:

According to the rules for assigning oxidation states, oxidation state of oxygen in covalent compounds is assigned to be 2. But there may be exceptions in compounds like peroxides, O2 2-, in which oxidation state of each oxygen is assigned as 1. And in covalent compounds with nonmetals, oxidation state of hydrogen is considered as +1.
