What do you mean by fractional
oxidation states ? give examples.
Answers
Answer:
here is the answer
Explanation:
Fractional oxidation states are often used to represent the average oxidation state of several atoms of the same element in a structure. For example, the formula of magnetite is Fe. 3O. 4, implying an average oxidation state for iron of +83.

do you mean by fractionaloxidation states
ans - The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge
For example: such as
such as 8/3 for iron in magnetite Fe
such as 8/3 for iron in magnetite Fe3O4 (see below) . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9 in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO+
such as 8/3 for iron in magnetite Fe3O4 (see below) . The highest known oxidation state is reported to be +9 in the tetroxoiridium(IX) cation (IrO+4).[1] It is predicted that even a +10 oxidation state may be achievable by platinum in the tetroxoplatinum(X) cation (PtO2+
