Select ALL species that contain oxygen atoms with oxidation number −1 (use the known structures: CrOX5 has two peroxo groups, HX2SOX5 has one, SX2OX8X2− has one, SX2OX7X2− has an S-O-S link only).
ACrOX5
BHX2SOX5
CSX2OX8X2−
DSX2OX7X2−
Answer: A, B, C
Peroxo O-O links are present in CrOX5, HX2SOX5 and SX2OX8X2−, giving O =−1. SX2OX7X2− has bridging O only, with O =−2 and S =+6.
