The oxidation state of 'P' in Ba(H(2)PO(...

The oxidation state of 'P' in `Ba(H_(2)PO_(2))_(2)` is

A

`+1`

B

`+2`

C

`+3`

D

`-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `Ba(H_(3)PO_(2))_(2)`, let the oxidation state of P be x
`2(+1) + 2[2(+1)x + x+ 2(-2)]=0`
`2 + 4 + 2x -8=0`
`2 + 2x -4=0`
`2x =2 rArr x = +1`
