NaH2PO2
Na+2(H)+P+2(O)=0
1+2(1)+P+2(-2)=0
1+2+P-4=0
P+3-4=0
P-1=0
P=1
The oxidation state of Phosphorus is +1

The oxidation state of phosphorus in NaH2PO2 is given as :-
Na+2(H)+P+2(O)=0 (Arranging elements according to there molecules)
1+2(1)+P+2(-2)=0 (Placing oxidation state other other than Na)
1+2+P-4=0
P+3-4=0
⇒P=1
so the oxidation state of phosphorus in NaH2PO2 is +1
Hope it will help u.
