Answer from: emily41950

Hydrogen is usually –1. This is INCORRECT. The oxidation number for H is +1.
Oxygen is usually –2. This is CORRECT.
A pure group 1 element is +1. This is INCORRECT. It does not follow. This will depend on the other elements and the overall charge.
A monatomic ion is 0. This is INCORRECT. Diatomic ion is 0.

Answer from: lalllda

Oxygen with an oxidation number -2 is the correct oxidation number

Further explanation

The formula for determining Oxidation Numbers in general:

1. The number of oxidation of single element atoms = 0. Examples of Ar, Mg, Cu, Fe, N₂, O₂, etc. = 0

Group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr): +1

Group IIA (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba): +2

H in compound = +1, except metal hydride compounds (Hydrogen which binds IA or IIA groups) oxidation number H = -1, for example, LiH, MgH₂, etc.

2. Oxidation number O in compound = -2, except OF2 = + 2 and in peroxide (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.3 The oxidation number in a non-filled compound = 0,

The total amount of oxidation in ion = ion charge, Example NO₃⁻ = -1

If we see the choice of answers

1. Hydrogen is usually –1.

This statement is wrong because generally the value of H is +1 except for the Hydride metal

2. Oxygen is usually –2

This statement is true, except the oxygen content of OF2, peroxide and superoxide compounds

3. A pure group 1 element is +1

In the form of a single or pure element, all the classes of oxidation are 0, so this statement is wrong

4. A monatomic ion is 0

Monoatomic ions consist of one ion atom is composed of several atoms called polyatomic ions

Monoatomic ion is dependent on the ion, such as H + oxidation +1, Ca2 + oxidation +2 etc. So this statement is wrong
