Oxidation State Difference between Tungsten Tetrabromide and Tungsten Tetraiodide

Tungsten tetrabromide and tungsten tetraiodide are compounds containing the metal tungsten and halogens (bromine and iodine) with some important differences in their oxidation states.

First, the metal tungsten in tungsten tetrabromide is in the +4 oxidation state. This means that in the tungsten tetrabromide molecule, the metal tungsten lost 4 electrons and reached a higher oxidation state. This high oxidation state endows tungsten tetrabromide with strong chemical activity, making it easier to chemically change with other substances in the reaction.

In contrast, the metal tungsten in tungsten tetraiodide is also in the +4 oxidation state. Similar to tungsten tetrabromide, metal tungsten in tungsten tetraiodide also loses 4 electrons and is in a highly oxidized state. This makes tungsten tetraiodide also exhibit high activity in chemical reactions, and is easy to participate in chemical reactions and electron transfer.
