Question

Oxidation Number of S in H2SO5 Is 6 This Is Observed Because

Answer 1

Explanation for Correct answer:-

Oxidation Number:

• The total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom is known as the Oxidation Number.
• Generally, the Oxidation number is the charge present on the ions.
• The oxidation number of $\mathrm{S}$ is +6 in ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_5$
• This is because of the peroxy linkage bond present in the molecule.
• 

Therefore, the oxidation number of $\mathrm{S}$ in ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_5$ is +6.
