Oxidation state exhibited by sulphur is

A

`+6`

B

`+4`

C

`0`

D

All of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The valence shell configuration os S is `3s^(2), 3p^(4)`, so it shows `+2, +4" and "+6` oxidation states. Further, like other elements, sulphur also shows 0 oxidation state in its elemental state, i.e., `S_(8)`.
