What is the oxidation number for S in the compound SO3?

The oxidation number for S in the compound SO3 is +6

Explanation:

When you add the oxidation numbers in a compound it must be zero unless it is an anion or a cation, we know the oxidation number for O is -2, so in the compound the oxidation number for S is +6

We can check this:

= 3*(-2)= - 6

S= +6
