Question

Which ion is not an oxyanion? NO− SO4 2− CN− CO3 2−

Answer 1

Answer:

CN⁻

Explanation:

Oxyanion:

Oxyanion is the anion that have oxygen atom.

General formula:

The general formula for oxyanion is AₓOₓ⁻².

A = symbol of element combining with oxygen.

O = oxygen atom

z,x, = integers

a) =  NO⁻

Its is an oxyanion because oxygen atom is present with nitrogen.

b) = SO₄⁻

It is an oxyanion because oxygen atom is present.

c) = CN⁻

This is not an oxyanion because there is no oxygen atom present.

d= CO₃²⁻

It is also an oxyanion because of presence of oxygen atom.
