The oxidation state of Na is +1.
There are two Na atoms, so the total oxidation state contributed by Na is +2.
The overall charge of the compound is 0.
Let x be the oxidation state of S.
There are two S atoms, so the total oxidation state contributed by S is 2x.
To balance the charges, we must have:
+2 + 2x = 0
Solving for x, we get:
x = -1
Therefore, the oxidation state of S in Na2S2O3 is -1.
