The oxidation number of S in S(8),S(2)F(...

The oxidation number of `S` in `S_(8),S_(2)F_(2)`, and `H_(2)S`, respectively, are

A

`0,+1` and `-2`

B

`+2, +1` and `-2`

C

`0, +1` and +`2`

D

`-2, +1` and `-2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `S_(8)`, oxidation number of `S` is 0, elemental state.
In `S_(2)F_(2), F` is in `-1` oxidation state, hence S is in `-2` oxidation state.
In `H_(2)S, H` is in `+1` oxidation state, hence S is in `-2` oxidation state.
