\sf As_4\sf O_6 : Arsenious oxide.

Oxidation numbers :-

• Let's assume oxidation number of As in \sf As_4\sf O_6 is x.

Now, \sf As_4\sf O_6 = 0 ( neutral )

› 4x + 6(- 2) = 0

› 4x - 12 = 0

› 4x = 12

› x = \dfrac{12}{4}

x = + 3

Oxidation number of As is +3.

Let's assume oxidation number of O in \sf As_4\sf O_6 is x

Now, \sf As_4\sf O_6 = 0 ( neutral )

› 4(+ 3) + 6(x) = 0

› 12 + 6x = 0

› 6x = - 12

› x = \dfrac{-12}{6}

x = - 2

Oxidation number of O is -2.
