(i) \(\underline{\operatorname{Sn}} F_{2}\)

(j) \(\underline{C l} F_{3}\)

(k) \(\underline{S b} F_{6}^{-}\)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 11

(a) \(\underline{\mathrm{Cs}}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)

Here we have to calculate the oxidation number of Cs, let us consider its oxidation number is x.

It is known that the oxidation state of  O is -2

The oxidation state of Cs in \(\mathrm{Cs}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) can be calculated as,

Number of atom of Cs (oxidation state of Cs) + Number of atom of O (oxidation state of O) = charge on the compound

\(\begin{array}{c} 2 \mathrm{x}+(-2)=0 \\ \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{x}-2=0 \\ \mathrm{x}=+1 \end{array}\)

Hence the oxidation state Cs is +1.
