The difference in the oxidation numbers of two types of sulphul atoms in `Na_(2)S_(4)O_(6)` is…..

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
5
`Na_2S_7O_3` has structure

This O.S of each of the therminal sulphur atom is + and each of the two sulphur atom is zero.
`therefore` Difference in oxidation number of two types of sulphur = 5-0 =5
