They are examples of elements.
Hypothesis because law don’t make sense and theory is for something that already has data behind it. In this case you don’t do it’s not hypothesis
the sun has a radius of 432,169 miles
<span>Average oxidation state = VO1.19
Oxygen is-2. Then 1.19 (-2) = -2.38
Average oxidation state of V is +2.38
Consider 100 formula units of VO1.19
There would be 119 Oxide ions = Each oxide is -2. Total charge = -2(119) = -238
The total charge of all the vanadium ions would be +238.
Let x = number of of V+2
Then 100 – x = number of V+3
X(+2) + 100-x(+3) = +238
2x + 300 – 3x = 238
-x = 238-300 = -62
x = 62
Thus 62/100 are V+2
62/100 * 100 = 62%
</span>62 % is the percentage of the vanadium atoms are in the lower oxidation state. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
