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,-2`

B

`+2,+1 and -2`

C

`0, +1 and +2`

D

`-2, +1 and +2`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

A

O.N of S in `S_(8)=0`
O.N of S in `S_(2)F_(2) =+1`
O.N of S in `H_(2)S=-2`
(`because` O.N of F = -1 and O.N of H = +1]
