Detailed Solution

The element carbon, C has four valence electrons it exhibits tetra valency of its compounds. Based on the nature of compound, the oxidation number of carbon varied from −4 to +4 . Nitrogen exhibits different oxidation states in its compounds. Ex: In NO, oxidation state of N is +2.

In NO22 , oxidation state of N is +4 .In N2O, the oxidation state of N is +1 . Similarly, in N3H,the oxidation state of N is -13. In N2O5 , the oxidation state of N is +5 .

So, nitrogen exhibits more than three oxidation states in its compounds.

The structure of H2S2O8 is as follows:
