The oxidation number of what in K3PO4? In that compound the oxidation number of oxygen is -2, the oxidation number of potassium is +1, and the oxidation number of phosphorus is +5.Realistically, in most compounds you can generally take it as a given that the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and the oxidation number of any alkali metal is +1. In potassium phosphate, that only leaves the oxidation number of phosphorus to figure out, and since they have to come out to a total of zero ...The oxidation number of a compound is essentially a meaningless phrase.
Phosphorus is in the p block. It shows +5 and +3 oxidation numbers.
+5
+5 for phosphorus and -2 for oxygen
In all phosphates the oxidation number of phosphorus is +5.
Phosphorus in its elemntal form (red, black white violet allotrpes) has an oxidation state of 0. in the phosphide ion P3- it has -3. In most compounds it generally has either a +3 or +5 oxidation numbers.
Zero- red phosphorus is an allotrope of phosphorus, a form of the element. By definition elemnts are considered to be neither oxidised or reduced.
