B

$Cu _{2} O$ is $-1$

C

$ClO _{3}^{-}$ is $+5$

D

$K _{2} Cr _{2} O _{7}$ is $+6$

(NEET-2020)

Solution

(1) $HAuCl _{4} \Rightarrow(+1)+ x +4(-1)=0$ $x=+3$

(2) $Cu _{2} \underline{ O } \Rightarrow 2(+1)+ x =0$ $x=-2$

(3) $\underline{C} \mid O _{3}^{-} \Rightarrow x +3(-2)=-1$ $x=+5$

(4) $K _{2} \underline{ Cr _{2} O _{7}} \Rightarrow 2(+1)+2 x +7(-2)=0$ $x=+6$
