What is the oxidation number of P?
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
What is the oxidation number of Cl in PCl4?
The answer is +7 because the oxygen has a charge of -8 and the charge on the whole compound is -1 therefore the charge on Cl must be +7.
What is the oxidation state of P in PO33?
+3
What compound has an oxidation number 5?
Phosphorus in PCl5 Nitrogen in Nitrate (NO3-) ion
An element that may have an oxidation number of 4 or 4?
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
Can PCl5 act as both oxidizing and reducing agent?
The oxidation state of phosphorous in PCl5 is +5.The valence shell has 5 electrons.It therefore cannot increase its oxidation state more than 5.Therefore PCl5 cannot act as a reducing agent as it cannot donate electrons.The oxidation state can be decreased to +3 by gaining electrons. There for PCl5 can act as a oxidizing agent.A example is given below along with the change in oxidation states of phosphorous.
What is the oxidation state of PCl5?
The oxidation no of phosphorus is +3 and that of chlorine is -1.

What are the oxidation states in Mg2P2O7?
Mg = +2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
What is the oxidation state of Phosphate?
O = -2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state
What is the oxidation number of Cl in PCl4?
The answer is +7 because the oxygen has a charge of -8 and the charge on the whole compound is -1 therefore the charge on Cl must be +7.
What is the oxidation state of P in PO33?
+3
What is the Valancy of phosphorus?
Valence is the number of bonds to other atoms. It is not always numerically equal to the oxidation number.The valence of phosphorus in PCl3 is 3; of P in PCl5 is 5; of P in H3PO4 is 5 (one of the bonds to oxygen is P=O).
