The correct option is C 0, +5, -1
The oxidation number of underlined atoms 3I–2+6NaOH→NaI–O3+5NaI–+3H2O are 0,+5,−1 respectively. Let X be the oxidation number of iodine in 3I–2.
2X=0
X=0
Let X be the oxidation number of iodine in NaI–O3.
1+X+3(−2)=0
X=+5
Let X be the oxidation number of iodine in NaI–.
1+X=0
X=−1
