There’s no choices to pick from
<span>F can only have oxidation number of -1
The overall compound has an oxidation number of -1
You have 6 Fs, so 6(-1) = -6
charge from F
X = oxidation number of P
x + (-6) = -1
solve for
x = +5</span>
A) 0 because Fe is uncharged
b) 0 because O in O2 is uncharged as well
c) +3 because each Fe atom lost 3 electrons
d) -2 because each oxygen aim gained 2 elections
Find a periodic table of elements.<span> This is a color-coded table made up of many different squares that lists all of the chemical elements known to humankind. The periodic table reveals lots of information about the elements — we'll use some of this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atom we're investigating. You can usually find these inside the cover of chemistry textbooks. There is also an excellent interactive table available online </span>here<span>.</span>
