@EnderlePhD Yea.I know it and I have to face it . Thanks ..

@Phalanx93 That's good. Maybe you should be a chemistry major. And don't worry, there will be hard stuff.

@EnderlePhD So this kind of chemistry we learn when we're in college ? It's easier than it looks ..

CAN I ASK WHAT IT WILL BE FOR H2S2O8?
THROUGH THE FORMULA I GET +7 BUT sulphur can exhibit a maximum of 6 right?

@disha9876 There are oxygen atoms in this molecule that have two different oxidation states (-1 and -2). The two oxygen atoms that are bonded to each other have an oxidation state like that of a peroxide (-1). The rest are as expected (-2). As a result, the sulfur atoms are each +6.

can i ask why you didnt include the charge for O4? wouldnt that be -8??

@wruckie If you mean SO4 (polyatomic), then it is not necessary to find the individual atom charges. You can just know the overall charge of the polyatomic species. In this case, it is -2.
