The given compound is $B_2O_3$.

To find:

The oxidation state of B.

Solution:

To determine the oxidation state of B in $B_2O_3$ we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The given compound is $B_2O_3$.

Let the oxidation state of B is x.

The charge on the oxygen atom is -2.

This compound has two B and three oxygen atoms.
