The oxidation states of sulphur in the anions SO32- , S2O42- and S2O62- follow the order

  • S2O42- < SO32- < S2O62-

  • SO32- <S2O42- < S2O62-

  • S2O42- < S2O62- < SO32-

  • S2O62- < S2O42- <SO32-


A.

S2O42- < SO32- < S2O62-

Let us consider oxidation number of S is x.

In SO32-, oxidation number of S,

x + (-2) × 3 = -2

                x = -2 + 6

                x = +4

In S2O42- oxidation number of S

2 × x + (-2) × 4 = -2

                     2x = -2 + 8

                      x = +3

In S2O62-, oxidation number of S,

2x + (-2) × 6 = -2

                2x = -2 + 12

                  x = +5
