From the following compounds H_(2)S,PH_(3),CaH_(2),BeH_(2) which pair is having oxidation number same as hydrogen ?

Answer»

`H_(2)S,CaH_(2)`
`PH_(3),BeH_(2)`
`H_(2)S,PH_(3)`
`H_(2)S,BeH_(2)`

Solution :`CaH_(2)andBeH_(2)`
are hydride compounds so oxidation number of H is -1 while oxidation number of H in `H_(2)SandPH_(3)` is +1.
THEREFORE the oxidation number of H of GIVEN pair in option (A) is (+1,-1), in option (B) it is (+1,-1), in option ( C) it is (+1, +1) and in option (D) it is (+1,-1). So it is clear that the pair given in option ( C) having oxidation number same as HYDROGEN.
