Question

what is the oxidation number of H3PO2
and also give explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The H3PO2 is a neutral molecule, so the overall charge is zero (0). The Oxidation Number of P in H3PO2 is + 1. To confirm, substitute the value obtained in the formula, the answer should be zero as the charge on the molecule is zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

H³PO²

Oxidation number of Phosphorus (P)

1×3+x-2×2 = 0

3-4+x = 0

x - 1 = 0

x = 1
