The Properties, Reactions and Applications of Oxygen   The electronegativity of oxygen and why it generally exhibits a negative oxidation state in compounds, give examples of compounds in which it exhibits its common oxidation state, a compound in which it exhibits a -1 oxidation state and a compound in which it exhibits a positive oxidation state (and explanation why this unusual oxidation state can happen). Give some reactions of dioxygen with hydrogen and Group 1 metals. Include balanced chemical equations for all examples.
