There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in <em>–ate</em> are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in <em>–ite</em> are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since PPO_{3} ^{3-} has fewer O atoms, its name ends in <em>–ite</em>. Thus, PPO_{3} ^{3-}  is phosphite while PPO_{4} ^{3-}  is phosphate.

Norma-Jean [14]

"People should remove native plants around watersheds" option should a person avoid doing in order to better protect the quality of watersheds.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Watershed is basically a source of large amount of water like river, sea, etc to another location like lake, ponds and stream.This is seen majorly during rainy season by water harvesting to supply further for farming, portable water plant, manufacturing sectors, enrich habitat to number of plants and animals, etc. Waterways face issues when erosion, pollutants and runoff of animal waste take place, which act as barrier for water flow, as it decreases the quality which affect aquatic animals life, reduce oxygen content. Native plants near watersheds is also a habitat for many animals and species thus it should not be removed until some major flaw occurs.
