How to find the Oxidation Number for S in the S4O6 2- ion.

[@류하영-y5v]

Thanks, Dr. B. Sir. My curiosity has been completely resolved. Thank you for the clear and accurate explanation.

[@wbreslyn]

You are most welcome!

Thanks, Dr. B. Sir how did you take the oxidation numbers for the two central Sulfur atoms as 0?

[@류하영-y5v]

The same element is combined on both sides.

Hi, this video is very helpful, so if I were to write oxidation numbers for the equation would I write +5 for Sulfur?

[@wbreslyn]

Depends which sulfur you are talking about. But the average across the four Sulfur atoms is 10/4 or 5/2 or 2.5.

Before watching this video i have lots query with this topic 😕😕😖but after watching your explanation in video my 99% query are get resolved 😊😊😊
Thank you so much breslyn sir

Would you please be kind and let me know how I may make the Lewis structure of this chemical specie? It feels a wee but challenging!

[@rssl5500]

Thanks dr.b I needed this video since there was a question about this ion and I didn’t know about the Lewis structure
Thanks ! ❤️🌹🙏

Hi Dr B, thank you for the explanation. I got a question on this asking me to balance S2O3 2- ------> S4O6 2-.
The answer said that the S was 4+ for S4O6 2- but I couldn't find out why.. I was always getting 5+ and so when I'd balance my e- was always 2.5 e- but in the answer, the balancing was 2e- which indicated that S was 4+.
(The answer was 2S2O32- -----> S4O62- + 2e)

My mistake, I think i meant to say 2 not 4 when calculating, I got mixed up between the video and the workbook, apologies

Sir x- 2(3)=-1 kaise aaya

I can't seem to find anything in my text book about hydrogen being -1 with boron. Do you have a source on this or at least some where I can double check this?

[@wbreslyn]

This might have some info (long link below). H usually is 1- when bonded to metals. So B is a nonmetal so not so clear-cut. And some boron hydrides have some odd bonding to make it more confusing.
