Step-by-step solution
According to the structures of molecules with fractional average oxidation states: Br ₃ O ₈ (Tribromooctaoxide) consists of a linear chain of three bromine atoms. The terminal bromine atoms are bonded to three oxygen atoms each (oxidation state +6 ), and the central bromine atom is bonded to two oxygen atoms (oxidation state +4 ). S ₄ O ₆²⁻ (Tetrathionate ion) has two terminal sulfur atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms each (oxidation state +5 ), and two central sulfur atoms bonded only to other sulfur atoms (oxidat
