Which of the following compounds has the highest oxidation state for the underlined element: Cr‾O2Cl2\underline{Cr}O_2Cl_2, Mnar{O}_4^-, Fe‾0.95O\underline{Fe}_0.95O, P‾H3\underline{P}H_3?

  1. A.CrO2Cl2
  2. B.MnO4-Correct answer
  3. C.Fe0.95O
  4. D.PH3

Solution

Calculate oxidation states: In CrO2Cl2CrO_2Cl_2, Cr is +6. In MnO4−MnO_4^-, Mn is +7. In Fe0.95OFe_{0.95}O, Fe is approx +2.1. In PH3PH_3, P is -3. The highest oxidation state is +7 for Mn in MnO4−MnO_4^-.
