Oxidation State and Number
Is there any difference between oxidation state and number?
What are oxidation state and number of peroxydisulphuric acid ?

Oxidation state (with associated number) == oxidation number.

H2S4O6 means:
O O
|| ||
H -- O -- S -- S -- S -- S -- O -- H
|| ||
O O
Please tell both oxidation number and state for each element please.

HOW DO I DRAW THE STRUCTURE?
THE OXYGENS ON TOP AND BOTTOM ARE BONDED TO SULPHER 1 AND 4

What are you trying to draw?
Peroxodisulphuric acid is H2S2O8
The structure contains an O-O bond but no S-S bonds.

Peroxydisulphiric acid (H2S2O8) has sulphur in the +6 oxidation state, hydrogen in the +1 oxidation state, the two O's between the two S-atoms are in
the -1 oxidation state and all other oxygens are in the -2 oxidation state.
The structure of this chem is H-O-S(=O2)-O-O-S(=O2)-O-H
With -S(=O2)- I mean an S, with an oxygen above and below, double bonded.

What is the oxidation number?
Ok we can use also peroxydisulphuric acid, what is the oxidation state and number of oxygen

Given the oxidation state S of an atom, you can find the oxidation number as follows:
Construct the function F(z) = S / ((z - S) * 2 * pi * i) in the complex plane.
Then the oxidation number ON can be written as
ON = ∫ﮯ F(z)dz, where ∫ﮯ stands for the closed path integral along the Jordan curve with winding number 1 around the pole S
of the function F(z).
There also is another way to compute ON.
ON = S
