Oxidation state of oxygen family -

Oxygen shows -2,+2 and -1 

oxidation states other elements show +2,+4 and +6 oxidation states 

-

 

 

Rules for Oxidation Number -

The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is -2. There are two exceptions.
In peroxide (H2O2; Na2O2),  the oxidation number is -1.

- wherein

In superoxide e.g. KO2 its oxidation number is -1/2.

As we have learned in oxidation number the reaction is

I_{2}+10HNO_{3}\rightarrow 2HIO_{3}+10NO_{2}+4H_{2}O

y\, \, is\, \, HIO_{3}and how +5 oxidation state of iodine

as 1+x+\left ( 3x\left ( -2 \right ) \right )= 0

x= 6-1= 5
