Hi, here we have to answer a question related to oxidation number.
00:04
Now, firstly, oxidation number is the charge left on the atom when all other species are removed from the molecule.
00:32
Now, first we are given with so4 to negative.
00:36
Now here, oxidation number of s can be calculated as, now, consider x, x, s.
00:42
As the oxidation number of sulfur plus 4 multiply by charge on each oxygen that is minus 2 is equal to overall charge that is minus 2.
00:51
So on calculating we get x is equal to plus 6 and we are given with x is equal to plus 4 value which is incorrect.
01:01
So this is the incorrect match and now next we have is nh4 positive.
01:11
Now for nitrogen let oxidation number is.
01:14
Is x plus 4 multiplied by plus 1 that is charge on each hydrogen is equal to overall charge plus 1...
