Sulfur forms compounds in oxidation states −2 (sulfide, S2−), +4 (sulfite, SO32−), and +6 (sulfate, SO42−). I don't know what type of ion but hope this helps!! :)
The answer is 3.
That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.
As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.
So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.
When a pot of water sits on a hot stove, the metal pot is
heated, and then transfers its heat to the water. A student claims that
conduction is the only type of heat
transfer occurring. The statement that explains why the student’s idea is
incorrect Conduction cannot occur between two different phases of matter. The answer
is letter A.
