x=7

Answer 2

$\Huge{\underline{\underline{\blue{\mathfrak{Question :}}}}}$

What is Oxidation state of P in H₃PO₅

$\rule{100}{2}$

$\Huge{\underline{\underline{\blue{\mathfrak{Answer :}}}}}$

Oxidation State :-  In  an  atom the  number of electron which gains or loses  to form a chemical bond with another atom is called oxidation state or oxidation number.

A.T.Q,

We have to find oxidation state of P in  H₃PO₅

Oxidation state of H is +1

Oxidation state of O is -2

Let Oxidation state of P be x

$\large \leadsto {\sf{3(+1) \; + \: x \; + \; 5(-2) \; = \; 0}}$

$\large \leadsto{\sf {3 \; + \: x \; - \; 10 \; = \; 0}}$

$\large \leadsto{\sf {x \; - \; 7 \; = \; 0}}$

$\Large \implies{\boxed{\red{\sf{x \: = \: 7}}}}$

Additional Information

• Oxidation State of Group - 1 elements is +1
• Oxidation state of Group -2 elements is +2
• Oxidation state of Halogens is -1
