    What is the oxidation state of P in \[Ba{{({{H}_{2}}P{{O}_{2}})}_{2}}\]?

    A)  \[+1\]                                  

    B)  \[+2\]

    C)  \[+3\]                                  

    D)  \[-1\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Let the oxidation state of P is x, then \[2(+1)+2[2(+1)+x+2(-2)]=0\]                 \[2+2(2+x-4)=0\]                 \[2+4+2x-8=0\]                 \[2+2x-4=0\]                 \[2x=2\]                 \[x=+1\]
