<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

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?
DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

Sulfur and fluorine react in a combination reaction to produce sulfur hexafluoride:
mixer [17]

In a particular experiment, the per cent yield is 79.0%. This means that in this experiment, a 7.90-g sample of fluorine yields is 7g of SF6.

<h3>How is Sulphur hexafluoride formed?</h3>

Sulfur Hexafluoride is a disparity agent formed of an inorganic fluorinated inert gas comprised of six fluoride atoms bound to one sulfur atom, with possible diagnostic activity upon imaging.

Thus, a sample of fluorine yields 7g of SF6.
