    Which of the following pair has the same oxidation number of sulphur and chromium?

    A)  \[SO_{3}^{2-},CrO_{4}^{2-}\]

    B)  \[S{{O}_{3}},CrO_{4}^{2-}\]

    C)  \[S{{O}_{2}},CrO_{4}^{2-}\]

    D)  \[S{{O}_{2}},C{{r}_{2}}O_{7}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the oxidation number of S is\[x\]in\[S{{O}_{3}},\] then \[x+3(-2)=0\] \[x-6=0\] \[x=+6\] Let the oxidation number of Cr is\[x\]in\[CrO_{4}^{2-}\] then \[x+4(-2)=-2\] \[x-8=-2\] \[x=-2+8\] \[=+6\] Hence, the oxidation number of sulphur and chromium in\[S{{O}_{3}}\]and\[CrO_{4}^{2-}\]is same, ie, 6.
