Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The charge of the copper atoms in the copper solid in given copper cycle needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidation state of an atom or ion indicates the charge on it if it forms ion. The oxidation state of ions represents the number of electrons gain or lost by an ion.
The sum of oxidation state of all bonded atoms in a molecule is always zero as molecules are neutral with zero charge on it.
