MCQ
The oxidation number of $Fe$ and $S$ in iron pyrites are
  • $4, -2$
  • B
    $2, -1$
  • C
    $3, -1.5$
  • D
    $3, -1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$4, -2$
(a)$\mathop {Fe}\limits^ * {S_2}$                                    $Fe\mathop {{S_2}}\limits^{ * \,\,} $

$x - 4 = 0$                                 $4 + 2x = 0$
$x = + 4$                                     $2x = - 4$
                                                    $x = \frac{{ - 4}}{2} = - 2$
