In PO3^3-, the oxidation state of the phosphorus atom is +3. Each oxygen contributes -2 charge, so 3 oxygens would contribute a total charge of -6, which is balanced by the +3 charge of the phosphorus atom.
In PO3^3-, the oxidation state of the phosphorus atom is +5. Each oxygen contributes -2 charge, so 3 oxygens contribute a total charge of -6. This is balanced by the +3 charge of the phosphorus atom, resulting in an oxidation state of +5.
The oxidation state of an individual phosphorus atom in PO is +5. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2, so in the compound PO, the overall charge is 0, which means the oxidation state of phosphorus must be +5 to balance the charges.
In SO3^2-, sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 (Sulfur's typical oxidation state is +6 and each oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, so the total charge of the ion of -2 corresponds to sulfur being in a +4 oxidation state).
The oxidation state of phosphorus in the phosphate ion (PO43-) is +5. This is because each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, and the overall charge of the ion is -3, so the phosphorus must have an oxidation state of +5 to balance the charges.
The oxidation state of phosphorus (P) in PCl5 is +5. Each chlorine atom has an oxidation state of -1, and since there are 5 chlorine atoms in PCl5, the total charge contributed by chlorine is -5. To balance this, the oxidation state of phosphorus must be +5.
It is 5.
The oxidation state of an individual phosphorus atom in PO is +5. This is because oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2, so in the compound PO, the overall charge is 0, which means the oxidation state of phosphorus must be +5 to balance the charges.
In SO3^2-, sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 (Sulfur's typical oxidation state is +6 and each oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, so the total charge of the ion of -2 corresponds to sulfur being in a +4 oxidation state).
The oxidation state of phosphorus in PCl5 is +5. Each chlorine atom contributes an oxidation state of -1, so the sum of the oxidation states in PCl5 equals the overall charge of the molecule, which is 0.

NO!!! Phosphates it is '+5' Phosphides it is '-3'
Element Phosphorus has an oxidation state of -4. No element has oxidation state of +4. Phosphorus is denoted by "P".
The oxidation number of phosphorus in H4P2O7 is +5. This can be calculated by taking into account the known oxidation states of hydrogen (+1) and oxygen (-2), and solving for the unknown oxidation state of phosphorus to ensure the overall charge of the compound is neutral.
In the complex (PMe3)2, where PMe3 represents trimethylphosphine, phosphorus typically has an oxidation state of -3. Since there are two trimethylphosphine ligands, the overall oxidation state of the complex is determined by the phosphorus atoms, maintaining the -3 oxidation state for each. Therefore, the oxidation state of the entire complex (PMe3)2 is 0, as it is a neutral molecule.
Pis in the p block. It shows +3 and +5 oxidation numbers.
Phosphorus increases its oxidation number in this reaction. In H3PO4, phosphorus has an oxidation number of +5, and in K3PO4, it has an oxidation number of +5 as well. This means that phosphorus's oxidation state remains the same throughout the reaction.
