Question

increasing order of Oxidation state of S in S8, S2O8-2 , S2O3-2 , S4O6-2​

Answer 1

Answer:

S₈ , S₂O₃(2-),S₄O₆(2-) ,S₂O₈(2-)

Explanation:

Take oxidation state of oxygen as -2 and then calculate ny equating it to the net charge.

Ex: let x be sulphur's oxidation state

in S8 8x = 0

x = 0

In S2O8-2

2x-16 = -2

x =7
