What is the formula for Na+1 and SO3^-2
1 answer:
Answer:
Na₂SO₃
Explanation:
We can use the <em>criss-cross method</em> to work out the formula.
1. Write the <em>symbols</em> of the anion and cation.
Na¹⁺ SO₃²⁻
2. <em>Criss-cross the numbers of the charge</em>s to become the subscripts of the other ion (see image).
3. Write the formula with the <em>new subscripts</em>.
Na₂(SO₃)₁
4. Omit all subscripts <em>that are 1.</em>
The formula becomes Na₂SO₃.
