1.	Oxidation number underlined atom NaH2PO4 underlined. P
Answer» <P>NaH₂PO₄ Na and H have OXIDATION number +1 O has oxidation number -2 Let oxidation number of P be x Sum of TOTAL oxidation number = 0 1+2+x-8 = 0 -5+x = 0 x = 5

Answer»

<P>NaH₂PO₄

Na and H have OXIDATION number +1

O has oxidation number -2

Let oxidation number of P be x

Sum of TOTAL oxidation number = 0

1+2+x-8 = 0

-5+x = 0

x = 5
