`Sb_(2)O_(5)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in the compound \( \text{Sb}_2\text{O}_5 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the elements in the compound The compound \( \text{Sb}_2\text{O}_5 \) contains two elements: antimony (Sb) and oxygen (O). ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation number of oxygen Oxygen typically has an oxidation number of \(-2\) in most compounds, except in peroxides, superoxides, or when bonded to more electronegative elements (like fluorine). Since there are no such conditions in \( \text{Sb}_2\text{O}_5 \), we assign oxygen an oxidation number of \(-2\). ...
