Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for sulfur in SO32 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for sulfur in HSO4 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for sulfur in HS is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number for sulfur in S2O82 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation number is the positive or negative value assigned to an atom in a substance. The number of electrons lost or gained by the elements gives the value of oxidation number. The oxidation number of monoatomic ion is equal to its charge and in free state its value is 0.
