    The  oxidation number and  the electronic configuration of sulphur in \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]is:

    A)  \[+\,4;\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[+\,2;\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[+\,3;\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{1}}\]

    D)  \[+\,6;\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The oxidation number of sulphur in \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] is \[(2\times 1)+x+(4\times -2)=0\]                              \[\therefore \]  \[2+x+(-8)=0\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[x=8-2=+\,6\] The electronic configuration of sulphur \[16S=1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{4}}\] Electronic configuration of S in \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] \[16-6=10,\]       \[1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}\]
