Answer 1

Option A is correct

Kl3

Explanation:

• The oxidation state is calculated by No. of electrons donated, shared or gain.
• As KL3 donates one electron, so it is positively charged and its oxidation state is +1
• The whole compound is neutral, so te tri-iodide ion is negatively charged, and it has an oxidation state of -1.
• It exists as an I-3 ion.
