According to Rule 5, oxygen has anoxidation number of -2 in this compound. We have 4 oxygen atoms, each with an oxidation number of -2, so the overall charge from oxygen is -8. We know that the overall charge of the sulfate molecule is -2; this means that the sulfur atom must have anoxidation number of +6.
