Phosphate is PO43- ion. The oxidation numbers are -2 for each O and +5 for P
5. In the phosphate ion, PO43- O is -2 the overall charge is 3- so P must be +5 ( +5-8=-3)
+5 oxidation state
The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
+3
Phosphate is PO43- ion. The oxidation numbers are -2 for each O and +5 for P
5. In the phosphate ion, PO43- O is -2 the overall charge is 3- so P must be +5 ( +5-8=-3)
+5 oxidation state
The oxidation numbers in PO43- , phosphorus oxidation number=+5; oxygen = -2
Mg = +2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state O = -2 oxidation state
O = -2 oxidation state P = +5 oxidation state
+3
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
P is +3, O is -2
Zero. Phosphorus will not trade electrons with itself.
No such thing as hypophosphate do u mean hypophosphite which is PO???
In H3PO3 each H is 1+ for a total of 3+. Each O is 2- for a total of 6-. So, there is 3+ and 6- giving a net of 3-. In order to make the molecule neutral, P must have an oxidation state of 3+.
