Accepted Answer

how everyone here were asked chocolate, the oxidation number of domain and each other following ions. So for B. R. Of four minus you can let X. You got the oxidation number of brahmi so we're gonna have X. We have four oxygen atoms. We're gonna add four Times oxidation state of oxygen, which is gonna be negative two. And other compounds that are not peroxide or super oxides. So that's gonna be negative too. And it's going to be equal to the overall charge on the compound which is gonna be negative one. So if we solve for X we're gonna have X minus eight because negative one. So if we add 8 to both sides We're gonna get X. It goes plus seven for br so two minus. We're gonna let X. You go. The oxidation number of romaine, we're going to X Plus two because there's two oxygen Times the oxidation state of oxygen, which is gonna be -2. And other compounds other than peroxide and super oxides. And it's going to be equal to the overall charge on the compound, which is -1. So if we solve for X We're gonna have X -4 Equal to - At four on both sides. X equals plus three. And for B. R. O minus we're gonna have X. You get the oxidation number of romaine so you can have X plus oxidation state of oxygen. It's gonna be negative too. And other compounds other than peroxide and super oxides. And it's gonna be equal to charge on the compound which is -1. So if we solve for X we're going to get X minus two because negative one We add two on both sides. Gonna Get X. Because plus one they're for br oh three minus. We're gonna have X equal the oxidation number bro me. So we have X Plus three because there's three oxygen. We need to talk about the insulation state of oxygen which is gonna be negative too and compounds other than peroxide and super oxides And it's gonna be equal to the charge on the compound which is negative one You saw for X. We're gonna get X -6. Those negative one. If we add six on both sides gonna get X. Because plus five. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful.
