The oxidation number of the underlined element in K4P2O7 is _________. a)+3
b)-5 c)+5 d)+6
Answers
Answer:
option d 6 is the answer
Answer:
hi friend the answer will be +5
Explanation:
according to the question K4P2O7 we should equate it with 0 to find its oxidation number we know that the oxidation no of alkali metal is always 1 so ,oxidation no of potassium (K)=1 and the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 we have to substitute these values equating it to 0 let phosphorus (P)=X K4P2O7=0 1*4+2*X+7*-2=0 4+2X-14=0 2X-10=0 X=+5 THE OXIDATION NUMBER OF PHOSPHORUS (P)=+5 IF U THINK IT AS THE BEST MARK IT AS BRAINLIEST
