The oxidation state of S in `[S_(2)(O_(2))O_(6)]^(2-)` is

A

`+2`

B

`+4`

C

`+6`

D

`+7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`S_(2)O_(8)^(2-)` has structure
`.^(-)Ounderset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-O-Ounderset(O)underset(||)overset(O)overset(||)(S)-O^(-)`
2O atoms have peroxide linkage so it may be written as `S_(2)(O_(2))O_(6)^(2-)`
`therefore2x-2+6(-2)=-2 " " thereforex=+6`
