first of all will find for carbon so x+(-2)+(1*2)=0.x=0 <span>carbon=0. </span> <span>For oxygen it will b ;4+x+1*2=0,x=-6. </span> <span>Oxygen=-6. and finally </span> <span>For hydrogen; </span> <span>4+(-2)+x*2=0;x=-1. </span> <span>Hydrogen=-1. </span>and the overall oxidation state of molecule is zeroo and it is a neutral compound
