Determine the oxidation number of the element in the bold in the following species (i)SiH_(4),(ii)BH_(3),(iii)Bf_(3),(iv)S_(2)O_(3)(2-),(v)BrO_(4)^(-),(vi)HPO_(4)^(2-)

Determine the oxidation number of the element in the bold in the follo

1.	Determine the oxidation number of the element in the bold in the following species (i)SiH_(4),(ii)BH_(3),(iii)Bf_(3),(iv)S_(2)O_(3)(2-),(v)BrO_(4)^(-),(vi)HPO_(4)^(2-)
Answer» SOLUTION :`(i) SiH_(4) :overset(x)Sioverset(+1)H_(4) X+4(+1)=0or x=-4` `(II)BH_(3) :overset(x)Boverset(+1)H_(3) X+3(+1)=0or x=-3` `(iii)Bf_(3) : overset(x)Boverset(-1)F_(3)X+3(-1)=0 or X=+3 ` `(iv)S_(2)O_(3)^(2-) : overset(x)S_(2)overset(-2)O_(3)2(x)+(-2)=-2OR X=+7` `(v) BrO_(4)^(-): overset(x)Broverset(-2)O_(4)X=4(-2)=-1or X=+7` `(vi)HPO_(4)^(2-) : overset(+1)Hoverset(x)Poverset(-2)O_(4)(+1)+X+4(-2)=-2 or X=+5`
