Answer:
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. a sodium ion forms when a sodium atom loses one electron and becomes positively charged. a chloride ion forms when a chlorine atom gains one electron and becomes negatively charged.

This compound is Boron selenate. Molar mass of B2(SeO4)3 is 450.4948 g/mol.
there are 92 naturally occuring elements
We need to keep in mind that the compound is neutral.
H2SO3
2(+1)+S+3(-2)=0 (since its neutral)
2+S-6=0
S-4=0
S=4
Therefore the oxidation number for sulfur is +4.
