Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is + 6
Explanation:
SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.
- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)
- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is - 2
- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Hence, SeO3 = 0
Z + (-2 x 3) = 0
Z + (-6) = 0
Z - 6 = 0
Z = 0 + 6
Z = + 6
Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is + 6
