You may find the structure of compounds as well the oxidation number of sulfur in each compound written with blue color. The nonbonded electrons are represented by black dots.
Explanation:
In the methyl sulfenic acid sulfur have a oxidation number of 0, because we have +1 from carbon and -1 from hydroxil group.
In the methyl sulfinic acid sulfur have a oxidation number of +2 , because we have +1 from carbon, -1 from hydroxil group and -2 from oxygen.
In the methyl sulfonic acid sulfur have a oxidation number of +4 , because we have +1 from carbon, -1 from hydroxil group, -2 from one oxygen and -2 form the other oxygen.
