Question

The oxidation states of iodine in $\mathrm{HIO}_4, \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{IO}_5$ and $\mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{IO}_6$ are respectively

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c) : The oxidation state of iodine in $\mathrm{HIO}_4$ is +7 as\ $1+x+4(-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=+7$\ The oxidation state of iodine in $\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{IO}_5$ is +7 as\ $3+x+5(-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=+7$\ The oxidation state of iodine in $\mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{IO}_6$ is +7 as\ $5+x+6(-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=+7$
