The oxidation number of sulphur in H2S is 2.
Oxidation number of h is 2
Oxidation no of sulphur is +2.
6+
sulphur and hydrogen the molecular formula is H2SO4
The oxidation number of sulphur in H2S is 2.
Oxidation number of h is 2
Sulphur has 6 valence electrons. So its maximum oxidation number is +6.
Oxidation no of sulphur is +2.
6+
sulphur and hydrogen the molecular formula is H2SO4
The oxidation number in atomic sulfur is 0. The oxidation number of sulfide ion is -2. With oxygen and other non metals, it makes numerous ions where its oxidation number varies from -2 to +6.
Things are complicated if we use the term valency. It is better to use the term Oxidation state or Oxidation Number. In SO2, the oxidation state of sulphur is +4 and In SO3, the oxidation state of sulphur is +6.
+1 for H +6 for S -2 for each O
+1, +6, and -2 respectively
Atomic sulfur has oxidation number 0. The oxidation number of the sulfide ion is -2. During formation of a wide variety of compounds, the oxidation status of sulfur may differ from -2 to +6.
+4 for carbon, -2 for each Sulphur
