Question:medium
In which of the following compound oxygen is in -1 oxidation state?
In which of the following compound oxygen is in -1 oxidation state?
Show Hint
Oxygen oxidation states to remember:
1. Normal oxides = -2.
2. Peroxides (like \(H_2O_2\), \(Na_2O_2\)) = -1.
3. Superoxides (like \(KO_2\)) = -1/2.
4. With Fluorine (\(OF_2\)) = +2.
