O.N of O = -2
O.N of P = 3

Explanation:

$P_{2} O_{3}$ $P_2O_3$ is a covalent compound and has a name is Diphosphorus Trioxide
Base on redox rules: The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is usually –2. Except peroxide.
=> $P_{2} O_{3}$ $P_2O_3$ = 0
$2 P (- 2 (3)) = 0$ $2P(-2(3)) = 0$
$2 P = 6$ $2P = 6$
$P = 3$ $P = 3$
