Question

why is oxidation number of s 6 in mnso4?

Answer 1

refer to the image attached for the solution and please do mark as brainliest if you find it helpful....

Answer 2

Oxidation number of
Mn is +2
O is -2
Let oxidation number of S be x
Total charge on molecule is zero

+2 + x + 4(-2) = 0
x = 8 - 2
x = +6

Oxidation number of S in MnSO4 is +6
