Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- Na has a constant oxidation number of +1 in most compounds. - Al has a constant oxidation number of +3. - O has a constant oxidation number of -2. - H has an oxidation number of +1. - S has an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, the oxidation numbers of each element in NaAl(OH)₄ are: - Na: +1 - Al: +3 - O: -2 - H: +1 - S: -2 This matches choice A.
