Calculate the oxidation number of underlined elements in the following.(i) KMnO_(4) (ii) Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)

Answer»

Solution :(i) `KMnO_(4)`
1 (+1) + X + 4(-2) = 0
x-7 =0
x = +7
Oxidation state of Mn = +7.
(II) `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)`
2X + 7 (-2) = -2
2x - 14 =-2
2x =+12
`:.` x = +6
Oxidation state of Cr = +6
