What is the oxidation state for s in (SO3)2?

S has an oxidation state of +4 in a sulfite anion as stated. In oxyanions, oxygen always has an oxidation state of -2. Therefore, three oxygen atoms will have total oxidation number of -6, requiring an oxidation number of +4 for sulfur to sum to the charge of -2 on the anion as a whole.

When does hydrogen have a oxidation state of 1?

Hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 whenever it interacts with a more electronegative element to form a compound (NH3) or whenever it forms an ionic-bonded acid (HClO4) or functions as a cation (NaHCO3). Hydrogen has an oxidation state of 0 in its elemental form. (H2) Hydrogen has an oxidation state of -1 whenever it forms and ionic salt as an anion. (LiH).


What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in (SO3)2?

If you mean SO3^-2 (the sulfite anion), then S has an oxidation number of 4+, since each O atom is 2-. In sulfur trioxide, SO3, the S atom has an oxidation number of 6+.


What is the oxidation state of Sodium Nitrate?

Sodium Oxide, or NaOH, has no oxidation state. It has a charge, which is zero. The elements that make up NaOH, however, do have oxidation states. The oxidation state of sodium (Na) is +1, and it will forever be +1 because it is impossible for it to be anything else, no matter what situation. The same applies for Hydrogen. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, and almost always will have an oxidation state of -2. There is one notable exception: H2O2. In this case, since the total charge of the compound is neutral and the oxidation state of Hydrogen must be +1 and, seeing as there are two hydrogens, bringing the overall charge up to 2, the oxidation state of oxygen must be -1. If it was -2, then the molecule would have an overall charge of -2.
