Let the oxidation number of P be x.  

We know that oxidation number of Na= +1, O= -2  

therefore,  3*1 + x+ 4* -2 = 0 (net charge on the molecule)  

3 + x - 8 =0  

x = +5  

therefore, the answer is C)+5

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point.
IRINA_888 [86]
Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.
