Solution Summary
This solution discusses binding energies.
Solution Preview
An increase in oxidation state causes the binding energy to increase due to a decrease in the screening of the inner electrons by the core electrons. Electronegative elements decrease the electron density around the carbon atom (thus oxidising ...
