Answer:
- 1 is the correct option
Explanation:
In determining the oxidation state or formal charge on element in an ionic specie, the whole ion need to be equated to the value of charge on the ion.
For example in this case, the charge on the ion is -3. Thus; representing iodine with X and putting -2 for the oxidation state of O (oxygen)
X + -2 = -3 (adding 2 to both side)
X = -3 + 2
X = - 1
A chemical reaction represents a change in the distribution of atoms, but not in the number of atoms. In this reaction, and in most chemical reactions, bonds are broken in the reactants, and new bonds are formed to create the products.
