EXPLATION

What is the oxidation state of sulfur in Na2S2O3? There is a set of rules you can use, or just look to the positions of the atoms in the periodic table. the Na will always be +1 in a compound (its in column 1) and the O, with a very few exceptions will always be -2 in a compound (Its in column 6)

Answer:

Given :

Compound Sodium thiosulfate

Chemically :  

Na₂S₂O₃

Find oxidation state or number of S in given compound .

We know :

O.N. of Na = + 1    [ All alkali metals have O.N. + 1 ]

O.N. of O = - 2  [ 99% we - 2 and rest - 1 in peroxide or super oxide ]

Let say O.N. of S is x in given compound :

2 + 2 x - 6 = 0

2 x - 4 = 0

2 x = 4

x = + 2 .

Thus the O.N. of S in Sodium thiosulfate or Na₂S₂O₃ is + 2 .
