Statement 1: In propane, all carbon atoms are in the same oxidation state.
Statement 2: The oxidation state is -8/3 per carbon atom.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
In CH₃-CH₂-CH₃, the terminal carbons are each -3 and the central carbon is -2, so the carbons are NOT in the same state - I is incorrect. The average oxidation state is -8/3 per carbon (3C + 8 = 0), which is what II states - II is correct as a statement about the average. Hence (d).
