From the given list, the number of compounds with +4+ 4oxidation state of Sulphur

SO3,H2SO3,SOCl2,SF4,BaSO4,H2S2O7{SO}_{3}, {H}_{2}{SO}_{3}, {SOCl}_{2}, {SF}_{4}, {BaSO}_{4}, {H}_{2}{S}_{2}{O}_{7}

Correct answer

3

Step-by-step solution

The total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom is known as the Oxidation Number.

In H2SO3{H}_{2}{SO}_{3}

 Let the oxidation number of S be x.

2(+1)+x+3(−2)=0x=+42 ( + 1 ) + x + 3 ( - 2 ) = 0x = + 4 

Similarly the +4+ 4oxidation state of sulphur is shown by SOCl2andSF4{SOCl}_{2}and{SF}_{4}.
