Consider the elements:
Cs, Ne, I and F.
(a) Identify the element that exhibits only negative oxidation state.
(b) Identify the element that exhibits only positive oxidation state.
(c) Identify the element that exhibits both positive and negative oxidation states.
(d) Identify the element which exhibits neither negative nor positive oxidation state.
(i) F (fluorine) exhibits only - ve oxidation state.
(ii) Cs (cesium) exhibits only +ve oxidation state.
(iii) I (iodine) exhibits both +ve and -ve oxidation states.
(iv) (neon) neither exhibits +ve nor - ve oxidation states.
(b) HCHO(l) + 2[Ag (NH3)2]+ (aq) + 3OH-(aq) → 2Ag(s) + HCOO–(aq) + 4NH3(aq) + 2H2O(l)
(c) HCHO (l) + 2 Cu2+ (aq) + 5 OH–(aq) → Cu2O(s) + HCOO-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
(d) N2H4(l) + 2H2O2(l) → N2(g) + 4H2O(l)
(e) Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 2H2SO4(aq) → 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O(l)
