Structure is given in the image...​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

in h2so5 two oxygen atoms are in -1 oxidation state by taking oxidation state of sulphur as x then we can get sulphur oxidation state as +6 in h2so5 two atoms in -1 oxidation state and remaining two in -2 oxidation state there fore two different oxidation states therefore average is -1-2/2 therfore the average oxidation state of oxygen is -3/2
