Oxidation number of P in is +6
- To find the oxidation number of P in , the oxidation number of each element must be first identified.
- To find the oxidation number of P, the oxidation number of F must be identified.
- The rule to find oxidation number states that an element belonging to group 17 has -1 as the oxidation number in binary condition.
- As Fluorine belongs to group 17, its oxidation number is -1.
- Thus with help of this, the oxidation number of P is calculated through the following steps:
X + (-1)× 6 = 0
X + -6 = 0
X = +6
- Thus the oxidation number of P in is found to be +6.
Oxidation number of I in is +5
- As sodium is a group 1 element, its oxidation number is +1.
- The oxidation number of oxygen is -2. As 3 oxygen are there, the oxidation number of oxygen is -6.
- Let the oxidation number of I be "X".
∴1 + X + (-6) = 0
1 + X -6 = 0
X - 5 = 0
X = +5
- Thus the oxidation number of I in is found to be +5.
