Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for silicon in Si2H6 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for silicon in SiO2 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for silicon in Si3N4 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for silicon in CaSiO3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.
