Phosphorous, or P, has a zero oxidation number in the element. Common oxidation numbers are:- It has a -3 in phosphides, where it forms the P3- ion It has a +3 in oxidation number in for example P4O6, and PCl3 It has a +5 oxidation number in for example P4O10 and PCl5
It is customary to assign oxygen an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides and superoxides. Using this convention, phosphorus must have an oxidation number of +3 to balance the charges in P4O6. (6 X 2 = 4 X 3)
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
Zn has oxidation number +2; S has oxidation number -2
