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 an individual sulfur atom in SO3?

The oxidation state of sulfur in SO3 is +6. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, and since the overall charge of SO3 is 0, the oxidation state of sulfur must be +6 to balance out the charges.


What is the oxidation state of each element in SO3 -2?

Sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 in SO3^2-. Each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2.


What is the oxidation number for Na2SO3?

The oxidation number of Na in Na2SO3 is +1, the oxidation number for S in SO3 is +4, and the oxidation number for O in SO3 is -2.


What are the oxidation numbers of SO3?

In SO3, sulfur has an oxidation number of +6 and each oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2.


What is the valency of sulphur in SO3?

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.


What is the oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in SO32 and minus?

In SO3^2-, sulfur has an oxidation state of +4 (Sulfur's typical oxidation state is +6 and each oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, so the total charge of the ion of -2 corresponds to sulfur being in a +4 oxidation state).


What is the oxidation state of S in SO3 2-?

The sulfate ion is SO42 -. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +6 (work it out!); therefore, the ion is more properly named the sulfate(VI) ion. The sulfite ion is SO32-. The oxidation state of the sulfur is +4.


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.


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.


What is the oxidation number for SO3?

When calculating oxidation numbers, use '-2' (oxygen) as the 'yardstick'(standard). Since SO3 has three oxygens, then the oxygen moiety is 3 x -2 = -6 Since SO3 is a neutrally charged molecule, overall oxidation is '0'. Hence S + -6 = 0 Hence S = 6 is the oxudation number for sulphur. NB Sulphur exhibits different oxidation states in different molecules. S = 0 SO2 = 4 SO3 = 6 ( as above) H2SO4) = 6 H2S2O7 (Oleum) = 6


What is the ionic compound for SO3?

SO3 is a covalent compound, not ionic. It is called sulfur trioxide.
