Best Answer

LiBrO3 this decomposes to Li^(+) & BrO3^(-)

The bromate anion has a charge of '-1'

Use the standard for oxygen at '-2'

Since there are 3 oxygens then the oxygen moiety is 3 X -2 = -6

Creating a little sum

Br + -6( oxygen moiety) = -1( anion charge)

Br - 6 = -1

Add '6 'to both sides

Br = (+)5 The oxidation state of bromine.
