Solution

The correct option is C $S_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} < S O_{3}^{2 -} < S_{2} O_{6}^{2 -}$
Let the oxidation number of $S$ be $x$ .
The oxidation number of oxygen is $- 2$ .
$S_{2} O_{6}^{2 -} : 2 x - 12 = - 2 \Rightarrow x = 5$
$S O_{3}^{2 -} : x - 6 = - 2 \Rightarrow x = 4$
$S_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} : 2 x - 8 = - 2 \Rightarrow x = 3$
Hence, the correct order is $S_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} < S O_{3}^{2 -} < S_{2} O_{6}^{2 -}$ .
