Asked by linda
I need help understanding oxidation I have a problem that states:
The proper assignment of oxidation numbers to the elements in the compound LiAsO3 would be:
I think the answer is +1 for Li, +3 for As and -2 for O.
I think I am confusing oxidation with ionic charge.
PLEASE HELP

Li is right as is O. As is not right. As is +5
