Explanation / Answer

a. -1 b. 0 c. 7 d. -2 e. 6 f. 5 g. 1 h. 3 i.7 j. 4 k. 3 l. 4 m. 5 n. -1 To find these, you need to have a chart of oxidation numbersof the various atoms (many are available online), and then you mustdetermine what charge the cation has based on how much the anionhas (the cation's charge must cancel the anion's charge to make theindicated charge in the resulting molecule). NOTE: oxygen almost always has a -2 ox. number.
