Chemicals dissolved in water. Calcite is a good example, if I'm not mistaken.
Liquid? maybe, its really inbetween if you get what i mean
The answer is statement #3.
<span>Fe(NO3)2
The NO3 part is a poly-atomic ion with total charge -1.
This is because Fe has a +2 charge and two NO3's with a -1 charge will balance out to 0.
Most often we just make the assumption that Oxygen has a -2 oxidation number because it is very electro-negative.
So to find N, we just need an oxidation number that balances out with 3(-2) to get -1 (the total charge of the ion)</span>
