    Step 1:

    Write down Chemical formula, Overall compound is neutral, so overall charge on it is zero,

    Na₃AsO₂ = 0

    Step 2:

    Write down the oxidation state of known elements, i. e O. S of Na is + 1, and O. S of O is - 2, Now put these values in above formula.

    (+1) ₃ + As + (-2) ₂ = 0

    Step 3:

    Now solve for As,

    (+1) ₃ + As + (-2) ₂ = 0

    +3 + As - 4 = 0

    As = 4 - 3

    As = + 1

    Result:

    Oxidation state of Arsenic in Na₃AsO₂ is + 1.
