Answer:
1. The oxidation number of a free element is always 0.
2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
3. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
4. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

Answer:
The chemical formula of diphosphorus monoxide is OP2.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but hope it helps! :)
An element is stable when it has a full outershell.
Generally, most shells after the first can hold 8 electrons.
The first shell can only hold 2
So in order for neon to be stable it must have a full outer shell
The first shell can hold 2
Neon has 10 electrons
10-2=8
The second shell can hold 8
And neon has 8 electrons left
So it must have 8 valence electrons to be stable
Phosphorus trichloride is the precursor to organophosphorus compounds that contain one or more P(III) atoms, most notably phosphites and phosphonates. ... PCl3 reacts vigorously with water to form phosphorous acid, H3PO3 and HCl: PCl3 + 3 H2O → H3PO3 + 3 HCl.
I don't know but I would pick b.2.covalent bonds
