4)16

Sulfur (atomic number 16) has the electronic configuration 2, 8, 6. The shells are K=2, L=8, and M=6. Therefore, the M shell contains 6 electrons.

V2O7⁴⁻ मध्ये V ची ऑक्सिडीकरण स्थिती ही ______ आहे. The oxidation state of V in V2O7⁴⁻ is _______

1)+5✓ Correct
2)-5
3)+4
4)+10

In V2O7⁴⁻, let the oxidation state of V be x. Therefore, 2(x) + 7(-2) = -4, which gives 2x - 14 = -4, so 2x = +10, and x = +5.
