Question

what is the oxidation number of s in so-2 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

HELLO I am Nikhil

i am glade to help you

Explanation:

+6

SO2−4 has a total charge of −2 , and oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur. So, oxygen polarizes the electron density towards itself more, and thus has the more negative oxidation state here. ⇒ x gives the oxidation state of sulfur, which is +6
