Question

Consider the following molecules: $\mathrm{Br}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{8}, \mathrm{~F}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{6}$, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}_{5} \mathrm{O}_{6}$, and $\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}$. Count the number of atoms existing in their zero oxidation state in each molecule. Their sum is $\qquad$ .\
