The charge of a vanadium ion in the compound V2O5 is: A.10- B.2+ C.5+ D.10+ E.none of the above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so we know that O almost always has a (-2) charge.. On V2O5 you have 5 oxygen, the over all charge on V2O5 is neutral. What must be the charge on V if you have 2 of them?

You could also do this algebraically if you wish => 2(x)+5(-2)=0 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it is +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep!
