<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Rb  =  + 1

              S    =  + 4

              O   =  - 2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                   Oxidation states of the elements were calculated keeping in mind the basic rules of assigning oxidation states which included assignment of +1 charge to first group elements i.e. Rubidium (Rb) and assignment of -2 charge to Oxygen atom. Then the oxidation state of Sulfur was calculated as follow,

Rb₂ + S + O₃  =  0

Above zero (0) means that the overall molecule is neutral.

Putting values of Rb and O,

                                           (+1)₂ + S + (-2)₃  =  0

                                           (+2) + S + (-6)  =  0

                                           +2 + S - 6  = 0

                                           S - 6  =  -2

                                          S  =  -2 + 6

                                           S  =  + 4

Glucose, c6h12o6, is used as an energy source by the human body. the overall reaction in the body is described by the equation
Art [367]
Glucose is carbohydrate and a simple sugar that is very important to the human body.

Energy is produced for the cells in the body through the process of metabolism which oxidizes glucose to water, carbon dioxide, and some nitrogen compounds. 

The general chemical reaction equation for metabolism is:
 
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Energy produced by nuclear fusion and fission
White raven [17]

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.
