Answer

Please see the answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) $Cs_{2}O$ The oxidation number of oxygen in all cases except in peroxides and superoxides is -2. Let the oxidation number of Cs be ‘x’. $(2\times x)+ - 2 = 0$ Then x = +1 Hence oxidation number of Cs in $Cs_{2}O$ =+1. b) $CaI_{2}$ The oxidation number of Calcium in all compounds is +2. Let the oxidation number of I be ‘x’. $+2 +(2\times x) = 0$ Then x = - 1 Hence oxidation number of I in $CaI_{2}$ = -1. c) $Al_{2}O_{3}$ The oxidation number of oxygen in all cases except in peroxides and super oxides is -2. Let the oxidation number of Al be ‘x’. $(2\times x) + +(3\times -2)+ x = 0$ Then x = +3 Hence oxidation number ofAl in $Al_{2}O_{3}$ = +3. d) $H_{3}AsO_{3}$ The oxidation number of hydrogen in all cases except in hydrides is +1. The oxidation number of oxygen in all cases except in peroxides and superoxides is -2. Let the oxidation number of As be ‘x’. $(3\times+1) +x +(3\times -2)+ x = 0$ Then x = +3 Hence oxidation number of As in $H_{3}AsO_{3}$ = +3. e) $TiO_{2}$ The oxidation number of oxygen in all cases except in peroxides and superoxides is -2. Let the oxidation number of Ti be ‘x’. $(2\times -2)+ x = 0$ Then x = +4 Hence oxidation number of Ti in $TiO_{2}$ =+4. f) $ MoO_{4}^{2-} $ The oxidation number of oxygen in all cases except in peroxides and superoxides is -2. Let the oxidation number of Mo be ‘x’. $ (4\times-2) + x = -2$ Then x = +6 Hence oxidation number of Mo in $MoO_{4}^{2-}$ = +6. g) $ PtCl_{4}^{2-} $ The oxidation number of Chlorine in all cases except in the compounds with Fluorine and Oxygen is -1. Let the oxidation number of Pt be ‘x’. $ (4\times-1) + x = -2$ Then x = +2 Hence oxidation number of Pt in $PtCl_{4}^{2-}$ = +2. h) $ PtCl_{6}^{2-} $ The oxidation number of Chlorine in all cases except in the compounds with Fluorine and oxygen is -1. Let the oxidation number of Pt be ‘x’. $ (6\times-1) + x = -2$ Then x = +4 Hence oxidation number of Pt in $PtCl_{6}^{2-}$ = +4. i) $ SnF_{2} $ The oxidation number of Flourine in all compounds is -1. Let the oxidation number of Sn be ‘x’. $ (2\times-1) + x = 0$ Then x = +2 Hence oxidation number of Sn in $SnF_{2}$ = +2 j) $ ClF_{3} $ The oxidation number of Flourine in all compounds is -1. Let the oxidation number of Cl be ‘x’. $ (3\times-1) + x = 0$ Then x = +3 Hence oxidation number of Cl in $ClF_{3}$ = +3 k) $ SbF_{6}^{-} $ The oxidation number of Flourine in all compounds is -1. Let the oxidation number of Sb be ‘x’. $ (6\times-1) + x =-1$ Then x = +5 Hence oxidation number of Sb in $SbF_{6}^{-}$ = +5.
