The oxidation number of sulphur 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
O.S. of sulphur is `S_8`=0
O.S. of sulphur in `S_2F_2`=+1
(O.S. of fluorine is always -1 )
O.S. of sulphur in `H_2S`= -2
(O.S. of hydrogen = +1).
