Question

Find out the oxidation number of I in IO3- .​

Answer 1

Answer:

the oxidation number of iodine is +5.

let oxidation number of iodine be x

the IO3- = x + 3(-2) = -1

x = -1+6

x = +5

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

+5

For calculating the oxidation number we take all the charges on the right hand side and equal to zero. First, we calculate the oxidation state of \[IO_3^ - \]. Hence, the oxidation number of iodine in \[IO_3^ - \] is +5.
