Answer:
The Correct Answer is +3 Oxidation state
Explanation:
This substance is an arsenic sulphide.
Because a compound is electrically neutral, it has no overall charge.
Sulphur is more electronegative than arsenic, which is a metalloid, since it is nonmetal.
As in regular metal sulphides like Na2S, CaS, and FeS, sulphur is given its usual (negative) oxidation on -2.
Assume that arsenic in As2S3 has an oxidation number of X. Two As atoms and three S atoms make up the molecule.
As a result, 2X + 3(-2) = 0, 2X = +6, and X = +3.
Arsenic has an oxidation value of +3 and is found as arsenic(III) sulphide.
