Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nonmetal X in X is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an element on formation of compound. The charge carried by an ionic compound helps in calculating the oxidation state of desired element.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nonmetal X in XO is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an atom on formation of compound. The charge carried by an ionic compound helps in calculating the oxidation state of desired element.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nonmetal X in XO2 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an atom on formation of compound. The charge carried by an ionic compound helps in calculating the oxidation state of desired element.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for nonmetal X in XO3 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The oxidation of an element is the tendency of an element to lose electrons. Oxidation number is the charge carried by an atom on formation of compound. The charge carried by an ionic compound helps in calculating the oxidation state of desired element.
