To find the oxidation number of iodine in potassium triiodide (KI₃), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation state of potassium Potassium (K) is an alkali metal and is located in Group 1 of the periodic table. The oxidation number for potassium is always +1. ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the oxidation numbers In the compound KI₃, we have one potassium atom and three iodine atoms. Let the oxidation number of iodine be represented as \( X \). The overall charge of the compound is neutral (0), so we can set up the equation: ...
