Question

What are reduced oxidation state phosphorus compounds? Give any two examples

Answer 1

according to concept of oxidation state in inorganic chemistry when atom give electron it oxidatoin state increse & when atom take elecron it oxidation state decreases called redued oxidation state

According to oxidation state in organic chemistry it depend on the our atom bonded which diffrent atom ,

H,K considred oxidation state +1oxidation state, Oxygen considred oxidation state -2 etc

suppose PH₃ is molecule in which +1 is oxidation state for each hydrogen so 3 hydrogen have oxidation state is +3 so in this compound Phosporus have oxidation state is -3.

phosporus have other oxidation state are -3,-1,+1,+3,+5.etc reduced oxidation state is -3

Example of -3 oxidation state phosporus compound are as follow

PH₃ phospine ,Trialkyl phosphine R₃-P componnd have phosporus oxidation state is -3

phospine oxide R₃-P=O have phosporus oxidation state is -1
