The oxidation state of A, B, and C in a ...

The oxidation state of `A, B`, and `C` in a compound are `+2, +5`, and `-2`, respectively. The compounds is

A

`A_2 (BC)_2`

B

`A_2(BC_4) _3`

C

`A_3(BC_4)_2`

D

`ABC`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a compound must be zero . This is possible only in ` A_(3)(BC_4)_2` :
`3(+2) +2(+5) +8(-2) =0`.
