$B r^{V +}$ $Br^(V+)$

Explanation:

The sum of the oxidation numbers equals the charge on the ion. Oxygen normally takes a $- I I$ $-II$ oxidation number and it does so here. Thus $- 1 = - 2 \times 3 + B r^{O N}$ $-1= -2xx3 + Br^(ON)$ .

Capisce?

So what are the oxidation numbers of $B r$ $Br$ in $B r O_{4}^{-}$ $BrO_4^-$ and $K B r$ $KBr$ and $B r O^{-}$ $BrO^-$ ?
