The oxidation number of `S` in `S_(8),S_(2)F_(2)`, and `H_(2)S`, respectively, areA. `0,+1` and `-2`B. `+2,+1` and `-2`C. `0,+1` and `+2`D. `-2, +1` and `-2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Oxidation state of molecular sulphur `S_(8)` is zero
Oxidation state of sulphur in `S_(2)F_(2)=2x +2(-1)=0 , 2x=+2` or `x=1`
Oxidation state of sulphur in `H_(2)S=2(+1)+x=0` or `x=-2`
